Farmers Must Evaluate Grasshopper Infestations
Farmers should survey field margins wasteland and farmstead areas now to assess grasshopper severity and decide on central control measures. For non crop roadsides and gardens, use Sevin Diazinon or related products, follow directions, and plan harvest storage with clean bins and proper moisture under 13 percent. Malathion should be added to grain mass and top loads treated with Dipel to curb Indian meal moths, with Vapona strips as a last resort.

Better Storage For Beef
M. C. Hunt of Kansas State University reports on ground beef from electrically stimulated hot boned carcasses stored vacuum packed and chilled, then blast frozen for a year with no loss of taste or color compared to conventional methods. The study reduces cooler space and energy, though slight faster discoloration may occur versus meat ground after 48 hours of chilling. Other researchers include M. E. Dikeman C. L. Kastner D. L. Kropf and J. Kendall.
