Sowing Brome Grass and Poultry Care Warned by ISU Experts
Iowa State College specialists urge late summer to early fall seedings for brome grass, with best results Aug 10 to Sept 15, and caution that mixing with alfalfa should seed before Sept 1. Poultry expert Whitfield warns of mid summer egg drop, urging constant water, proper feeding, mite control, and culling nonlayers. Tomato crops need dry, sunny weather after excess moisture delayed ripening.
