Spring oats as a good alternative field crop
Farmers weigh spring oats for 1998 as a versatile crop offering grain yield with quality straw or high palatability forage. Oats suit temporary rotations, reduce erosion when paired with perennial forages, and can be grazed or made into hay. Plant promptly after March 15 for best grain yields, with late April optimal unless May planting yields acceptable results.

Maryland Farmers face new nutrient management law shifts
As Maryland lawmakers move to adopt a nutrient management law, farmers may face longer timelines for regulation and a heavier burden of proof on landowners. Many Frederick County farms already use plans, but documentation and official status matter, with calibration, field records, and invoices crucial. Getting plans and records in order now aids compliance and may unlock $8 per acre USDA NRCS incentives.
