Iowa State College extension nutritionist Jewel Graham cautions that bulk frozen fruits to can is expensive and may yield lower quality than fresh. She notes skin toughness in bing cherries, shriveling in red sour cherries, and darkening of peaches and apricots after defrosting. Sugar content varies and browning depends on packing. For canning, defrost in the original container, boil five minutes, then jar and process in a boiling water bath fifteen minutes for pints and twenty for quarts.

Oats Urged as Top Dairy Grain by Iowa Expert
Floyd Johnston of Iowa State College urges farmers facing corn shortages and short pastures to maximize oats in dairy rations. Oats are one of the best all round grains for milking cows and young stock, comparable to corn in feeding value when blended as a concentrate. He recommends a summer mix of ground corn and ground oats, with a protein supplement, and offers adjustments if corn is scarce, including higher oats or an emergency ration of oats and bran. Calves can receive whole oats up to eight months old.
