Shredded Fodder Tests For Better Feeding In Iowa
Rex Beresford of Iowa State College advises shredding or grinding corn fodder and stover to extend supplies. Shred at moisture under 30 percent to avoid mold. Use central stalk moisture test and half inch cutter length for faster prep. Ground fodder yields more cattle per unit than whole fodder, while shredding adds cost but saves overall roughage when scarce.

Old Seed May Be Needed Next Year
Agricultural expert A H Porter from Iowa State College cautions farmers that four of five year old wheat oats barley and sorghum seed can still sprout if well stored though germination declines with storage age. He advises testing seed due to uncertain storage and warns against importing seed from other states due to weed risks. Corn under two years old generally remains usable. oats show top seed viability around 90 percent in tests, while lower seeds fade. Farmers may mail samples for testing.

Growers Need Timely Cane Cutting to Meet Drouth Strains
Iowa State College horticulturist C V Holsinger advises raspberry growers to use canal-cut back methods to 12 16 inches in the first year after planting and about 12 inches higher in the next two years. This creates lateral branches with more fruit bearing wood. Many delayed cutting back in midsummer but current growing conditions favor cutting now to prevent loss from upcoming frost and winter injury.
