Gosselink Farm Notes On Rubber Tires And Alfalfa
In a rural visit near the Roorda home, Leonard Gosselink displays a rubber-tired tractor and two plows, touting traction from water-filled tires. He feeds corn silage and alfalfa, rents alfalfa ground, favors alfalfa for profit, and plans oats and alfalfa sowing with staged ground work to improve legume stands. The property includes Hereford cattle and livestock, with about fifty on the home place and ninety acres nearby.

Early potato growth tied to temperature and planting timing
A farmer notes potatoes grow only when temperatures stay below 85 degrees, with growth resuming around the eye causing warty tubers. Iowa price data through March 15 show hogs and eggs faltering while corn prices rise, lowering the hog-corn ratio. A Town Agricultural Experiment Association leaflet titled Know Your Hybrid Corn is now available, and agronomists advise seeding red clover near late March.
