Summer Danger Time For Farm Residents
Rural accident records show June through September are 33 percent more dangerous for farm residents than the rest of the year. Projected summer losses: about 6,200 farmers or their families killed and 520,000 injured, averaging 50 deaths and 4,260 injuries per day. Fatigue, long hours, heavy machinery and shortcuts contribute, urging farmers to stay alert to prevent costly, livelihood-ending accidents.
Summer Planting of Cover Crops Boosts Soil Health
Summer offers ideal timing for soil improving crops or green manures. Spring and summer cover crops like corn sorghum and sunflower add organic matter and build soil nitrogen, reducing future fertilizer needs for vegetables fruits and flowers. Legumes such as soybeans clovers lespedera lupines and vetches extract atmospheric nitrogen and store it in the soil through winter. Sudan grass millet and buckwheat provide quick growth when space is limited.
