Save Your Own Seed Corn Says University Agronomy Dept
Extension News Service urges farmers to save seed from their own corn where possible. Home grown adapted seed is safer than imported seed from other states or sections of Nebraska. Even in areas damaged by drought, there are spots in fields where seed can be obtained. If ears are small but well matured they will make good seed. Corn matured early this year suggests abundant future seed supply across the state.

Silage and Feeding Tips from University Animal Husbandry
The University Animal Husbandry Department advises feeding a little silage when fall pastures are scarce to prevent spoilage of top silage. If not needed, add water to the silo top and tramp the silage during the first two weeks after filling. Salt coating helps seal and preserve. The department also endorses cutting and shocking corn for refilling silos in winter.

Lamb market urges steady lamb purchases to cut cornfields
Receipts of lambs at livestock markets were light through early September leaving fewer animals in the country. The University Animal Husbandry Department advises buying enough lambs to clean up fields in rainier regions, anticipating high finished lamb prices to cover feed. September and October often bring heavy runs and occasional price breaks up to 81 per hundred, suggesting an order with a reliable commission firm could be filled during such breaks.
