Agricultural notes on crops and storage practices
Milk remains inexpensive per food value even if doubled in price. One volunteer wheat plant risks Hessian fly damage to hundreds of plants. Do not plant wheat on fields with past take-all disease. A bushel of corn fed to a dairy cow before calving can rival two bushels after calving. Seed wheat must be pure and free of rye and smut. Potatoes should be dried before storage but not sun exposed too long. A well conditioned sheep flock winters easily. Silo filling season is near and equipment should be ready. Sweet clover is a top honey plant. If a silo is available, discard old silage and scrub walls and floors. seal rat holes with cement.
