The column advises choosing oats or barley for early feed, using wheat if profitable, delaying grazing to strengthen grain, and seeding where needed.

It also suggests planting 5 to 10 percent of corn as sorghum insurance, plus drought-rate rules and a pasture improvement contest deadline in Jefferson County with 13 entrants.
