Carbofuran at planting can reduce corn rootworm damage and army worm pressure, with rate adjustments before and after May 20.

Janet Conway reports the Perry family of Peru Township runs a small scale maple syrup operation. Oliver Perry oversees the evaporator while his wife Ruby and their children Norbert Dennis Marjorie Palm and Norbert's wife Karen harvest sap from 1600 taps. The operation began February 20 and is winding down as spring tap season nears its end.
The Perry family near Sandusky starts the tapping season as sap runs begin. They use a tractor to haul sap, operate an evaporator for about eight hours daily, and filter syrup to about 11 1/4 pounds per gallon. They produce 30 gallons daily, with peak days at 60 gallons, and aim to market mellow, well-filtered syrup.
