Phosphorus Boosts Clover Yields in Missouri Test Plot
On Sam Gooch’s Browning farm, phosphorus greatly raised clover yield. Trials with 160 and 250 pounds of phosphate per acre produced 142 tons per acre and an extra half ton, respectively, while Kansas and Minnesota studies show methods to control wild garlic and optimize potato seed pieces, apples, and soybean feeding. Trials also cover tomato planting with deep holes and glass covers, hog nutrition for pregnant sows, New York farm income patterns, and Maine poultry pullet management for profitable year.

Find Corn Hybrids Help Conserve Soil
Ohio agricultural researchers argue corn hybrids improve soil conservation by reducing land needs by 85 to 90 percent for the same output. They note higher yields mainly from starch, increased crop residue, and slower soil deterioration when using hybrids versus open-pollinated varieties. Continuous soil management with hybrids offers greater monetary return.
