The lightweight cotton fabrics protect grain, stay effective in heat, and resist washing out due to tight weaving. Farm accidents average four deaths per county per year, notes Norval Warle of Toya State College.

Use Your Oats for Forage Not Grain
Iowa State College agronomist Ralph Krenzin urges using oats as forage rather than grain this year when grain yields look weak. Early removal of oats can improve legume stands and provide 4 to 5 weeks of grazing plus two to three cattle per acre, with roots firm at 8 to 10 inches. Grazing reduces labor while maintaining soil for future seedling growth.
