Grass seeding time and practices for farm and city March
March to May offers ideal windows for grass and forage seedings in northern Ohio. Hand sowing has largely given way to tractor assisted seeding with alfalfa and grass mixtures common in spring seedings. Recommendations include using a grain drill with band seeding and packer wheels, applying 200 to 250 pounds of complete fertilizer, and choosing alfalfa varieties by use.

Swine Producers Tour Area Farms in Huron County
A group of swine producers visited three area farms in Huron County on Wednesday. They toured Bob Yingling’s 120 by 44 foot finishing barn on Young Road near Bellevue with a 56,000 gallon manure pit and four month holding capacity. At James Perry’s rural Vickey farm they saw a confined feeding system on a partially slatted floor with low death loss and feed conversion details. The third stop, Charles Dauch’s Clyde area farm, featured a confined system with half the building using paste feeding for improved feed conversion but higher waste and maintenance costs.
