Farmers Urged to Apply More Lime in Ohio Soils
Earl J. China Univ agronomy specialist says lime often underutilized and misvalued. Ninestome use for Ohio soils rises slowly, with only about one ton supplied for six to eight tons needed. Lime costs are low and some grants from the agricultural adjustment administration help, yet many farmers still hesitate to apply lime to improve clover and alfalfa yields and livestock feed efficiency. An extension agent can assist with soil tests to determine lime requirements.

Agronomist Urges Not Cutting Wheat Fertilizer Use
Ohio agronomist Robert M. Salter of Wooster warns farmers against reducing fertilizer on wheat this fall. He cites Ohio field tests showing 10 counties with 300 pounds per acre 2-12-6 fertilizer yields average gains of 17.2 bushels per acre in wheat and substantial hay increases over three years. Even at 70 cents per bushel and six dollars per ton hay, the value nearly covers fertilizer costs, with a return around four dollars per dollar spent. Salter recommends 300 pounds per acre as a minimum, rising to 400 pounds when wheat follows two meadow years.

Prophets Behind Ohio Hybrid Corn Parade Controversy
Obstacles in Ohio corn fields prompt FR D Lewis, Ohio State University specialist, to claim hybrid seed adoption rises while open pollinated varieties decline. He estimates 1,300 acres of hybrid seed grown in Ohio last year with 1,393,800 acres expected to be harvested this year. Lewis notes hybrids yield more and endure weather better, though seed production demands extra care and time from dedicated planters.
