Worth Remembering New Sorgithm-Sudangrass Hybrid
Tests at Southern Illinois University show a sorgithm sudangrass hybrid yields more supplementary summer forage for livestock than regular sudangrass varieties. Also noted: SIU hosts four-year forestry degree program since January 1958. Two work oxen trained at the SIU Dairy Center aid Peace Corps volunteers in Niger and Senegal, and summer orientation programs for foreign agriculture grads have occurred for four summers.

Farmers explore Ammo Phos high analysis fertilizer to win deeper root systems and better drought resilience. University tests show fertilized corn yields of 75 bushels per acre in Illinois, 65 to 80 in central Missouri with ample nitrogen, while unfertilized plots lag far behind. Ray Nicholson notes nitrogen boosts near $50 per acre in dry spells at the Southern Iowa Experiment Farm.
