Rural Scene Reports Record Harvest and Cattle Health Notes
Loyd B. Cavers reports the 1971 harvest as possibly the largest on record with many farmers noting top yields. Wheat often exceeds 50 bushels per acre, and some fields reach 90 to 100 bushels in fits. TCA treated straw appears safe for cattle at low rates, while flax stubble and sugar beet stubble pose higher risks. Pink eye is a recurring beef herd issue, with some cases requiring frequent antibiotic spray and others recovering well with treatment. Duck numbers remain adequate for local hunters.
