Illinois Agricultural Association opposes rail rate hike
The Illinois Agricultural Association and FS Services, Inc ask the Interstate Commerce Commission to suspend a proposed railroad freight rate increase. They warn any rise would inflame inflation, raise farm costs, cut farm income, and hurt farmers who cannot pass higher costs to buyers. A June 13 hearing in Washington will consider the proposal, with railroads seeking approval for rates to take effect June 27.

Farm safety and livestock feeding reminders
Extension safety specialists urge farmers to use individual stalls for sows and gilts on limited feeding to ensure fair nutrient access. Cattle should be dehorned in spring to allow healing before fly season, as young dehorning minimizes shock and hemorrhaging. When towing heavy loads, hitch height and positioning are advised to avoid accidents.

Haymaking tips to avoid rain during drying process
Purdue agronomist Lester H. Smith offers quick haymaking guidance. Cut when wind shifts from southwest to west or northwest. Watch for a rapid 5 to 15 degree temperature drop with lower humidity indicating drying. A rise in barometric pressure signals fair weather after cool northwest air. Thunderclouds usually precede a cold front, then flat bottomed fair weather clouds appear. Early cutting yields high protein hay and preserves soil moisture for up to three more crops.
