The clover borer inflicts major damage on clover crops, especially in the Middle West. The grub, a dingy white insect with yellow head about one eighth inch long, gnaws the interior of main roots causing tops to die. Prevention hinges on summer fallow after hay harvest to starve and kill young grubs, with rotation that includes clover briefly to keep the pest in check.

Convenient Post Puller for Fence Removal
A simple field device eases removing fence posts. Two 2x4s 5% feet long form a support, baseboard forms a crotch for a pulling chain, and a jack stands about three feet from the post to pull with a chain wrapped around the post top. The design aids farmers in breaking ground and extracting posts with less digging and effort.
