Freezing Foods Through the Year Advised by Home Economists
Home economists urge keeping farm freezers full year round to maximize meat value and enjoyment. Prepare ahead by doubling recipes, freezing baked and unbaked goods, and stocking pre cooked meals like chicken a la king and soups. Freeze vegetables promptly within two hours, avoid refreezing thawed foods, and limit room temperature exposure of packaged items.
Surface Fertilizer Use Linked to Rain Activation
The article notes that fertilizer sprayed on the surface must be dissolved by rain to enter the soil. Stritzel explains that the topdress alone provides no benefit without subsequent moisture, highlighting the need for rainfall to activate the fertilizer.
