Oat Crops Share in North Central States Acreage
The oat crop accounts for 24 percent of cereal grains acreage in 12 north central states, behind wheat and corn. Northern anthracnose disease in red clover affects Illinois, mainly its northern half. Illinois soil fertility system stems from University of Illinois research from nearly 50 years ago. Many thousands of dollars will be wasted this spring as high priced legume seeds are broadcast on lands unsuited to legume production.

Ridlen of Illinois College of Agriculture notes de beaking and guards as fall practices to curb cannibalism in poults.
