Ames Iowa rye extends pasture season in September sowing. Agronomist R E F Krenzin notes rye is high yielding and high protein in late autumn and early spring. Balbo rye offers strong feed with less milk odor, but winter hardiness matches winter wheat, so suitability varies by region. Rates of 1 to 2 bushels per acre advised.

Flushing Ewes For Uniform Lamb Crop In Breeding Drive
Farmers should prepare flocks by flushing ewes into breeding condition with bluegrass or clover pasture or 0.5 to 0.75 pounds of grain daily. Oats or corn oats mix suffices. Flushing prompts heat and a tighter breeding period, aiming for uniform spring lambs and possible twins. Rams require 1 to 2 pounds of oats daily for 2 to 5 weeks before breeding, not excess fat. Extra hay supports ewes when pasture is poor.

Check Soybeans for Nodule Formation
Ames Iowa State College agronomist C. R. Weber urged farmers to inspect soybeans for nitrogen fixing nodules on roots. Northern Iowa fields show poor nodulation while southern areas appear well nodulated. Lack of nodules suggests inoculating seed at planting will boost yields and soil nitrogen. Nodules are about one eighth inch wide, forming on the main tap root in clusters.
