October Woods Prompt a Day to Escape
A narrator imagines interruptive invites to a woods outing on an October afternoon. Rye cover crop paints a vegetable farm green in early October as lines from a favorite poem echo the field’s God colored feel. The speaker and companions move toward a meadow overrun with weeds in a smoky mood of abandon.
Woods Walk Inspires Quiet Reverence and Shared Perception
A reflective account describes choosing companions for a woods excursion, the sensory awakening of pine scent and mossy slopes, and a river bluff memory gift. The narrator envisions a sacred mossy scene with kneeling reverence, sprouted acorns, and a longing for return as autumn rains revive the forest.
Rye pastures extend fall and winter grazing
Farmers short of toughage and grain should plant rye to extend grazing into fall and winter. Dr Farrel J Olsen Jr of West Virginia University notes rye will add about two weeks of grazing, provide winter soil cover, and yield a green crop next spring with proper fall and spring fertilization.
