Moisture guides optimum soybean planting dates in MU studies
University of Missouri Agronomy researchers find planting date impact on soybean yields hinges on moisture during bean filling. Variants Calland Williams used in trials from April 23 to July 20. At Spickard 1971 June 2 best, Bradford Farm 1971 April 23 outperformed others. 1972 Spickard June 2 then June 21. Double cropping soybeans after wheat did well when planted around July 1. Potash note references Hopkins process and 1790 patent. Montgomery City to host Crop Production Clinic at courthouse Thursday 7:30 p.m. with Frank Broz Marvin Miller. $5 includes soil test.

Peru Fishmeal Won't Hurt Bean Sales
The Agriculture Department forecast limited impact on world soybean markets from Peru fishmeal. Peru may resume fishmeal production after surveys, but full recovery isn’t expected in 1974. Strong demand and reduced Peru output kept soybean prices high in 1973. World fish meal production, led by Norway Denmark Chile South Africa and Iceland, remains modest beside Peru.

Better Off Fertilizing Now Says Agent Bubank D Miller
Agronomy specialist Bubank D Miller urges early fertilizer application amid uncertain supplies and weather. University soil tests auto adjust recommendations by depth, but sample depth data is essential. Dr Einar Palm notes wet weather raises ear rot risks in corn including Diplodia Fusarium and Gibberella, with Gibberella toxins harming non ruminant animals and causing hog refusals at low kernel percentages.

End Grazing Of Fescue This Month
Cattlemen should finish grazing fescue pastures by December end or incur losses in yield and quality. UMC agronomist Ocumpaugh notes late grazing cuts dry matter and digestibility. potassium deficiency limits intake, suggesting potassium salt supplement or earlier dry hay as alternatives. Pfander supports potassium-focused supplementation. Use pasture before potassium becomes deficient.
