Hay making favorable in Frederick County weeklong effort
Weather favored hay making with high quality baled forage and strong yields across most areas. Some fields suffered minor spittlebug damage to clover and alfalfa while wheat and barley look excellent and barley harvest may begin soon. Maryland figures show six Holsteins sold at the National Convention sale and a wide list of local consignors. Beetle control relies on parasites and spore dust. Land Week declared with tours and Soil Conservation District meeting in late July. Agronomy Field Day set for June 19 at University of Maryland with demonstrations and variety trials.
