Some Oats May Be Lost In Jones County Rain
Jones County farmers face loss of oats from heavy rains as three fourths of the crop has been harvested. Weeds and rotting windrowed oats reduce yields though overall grain quality remains variable. Corn stands and soybeans look good and hay is high quality under rainy conditions. Extension director Joe Legg notes continued favorable hay growing weather despite poor haymaking.

One Spray Guards Dairies From Flies Says Extension Leader
Jones county dairymen can rid cows of all fly species with a pyrethrins pesticide spray applied daily. Extension Director Joe E. Legg and ISU entomologist Harold Gunderson cite reduced milk loss and disease spread, noting 500 horn flies and 50 to 100 stable flies per head cost 10 to 20 percent production during the season. Use 1–2 ounces per cow with a knapsack sprayer after milking. Do not use listed prohibited insecticides. FDA prohibits residues in milk. OTTO J. Kahl, Clarence, was charged with failure to yield right of way after a collision in Oxford Junction.

Feed for Production Boosts Dairy Cows Income
Farmers urged to shift from grain milk ratios to production-based feeding with added concentrates. Experts note pasture quality and hay moisture affect energy intake, suggesting liberal concentrate feeding alongside careful management. Pillsbury Dairy Feeds promise rumen activation and balanced nutrients, with dealer guidance to tailor rations. Additionally, farm trends show acreage cuts and possible corn dumping. lambs grazing cornfields could add $10 per acre.
