  • Late-Planted Corn Performance
  • Livestock Forage Availability Items
  • Organic Garden Insect Control

 

00:01:06—Late-Planted Corn Performance--K-State agronomist Eric Adee discusses the performance level to expect from corn planted in late May or June, drawing from multiple years of K-State field studies at several sites in the state...they discovered that the results can vary widely depending on growing conditions, but that often, late-planted corn can yield enough to make the attempt worthwhile...especially if pre-plant nitrogen has already been applied to the field

 

 

00:12:05—Livestock Forage Availability Items--K-State agricultural economist Robin Reid talks about two topics related to livestock forage availability, both of which she has now highlighted on the agmanager.info web site:  the USDA's Livestock Forage Disaster Program, which provides payments to qualified livestock producers whose forage resources have been decimated by drought...and a new hay inventory calculator tool that she has put together for producers to gauge their expected cow herd forage needs and hay availability

 

 

00:23:05—Organic Garden Insect Control--On this week's horticulture segment, Johnson County Extension horticulture agent Zac Hoppenstedt talks about organic control of vegetable garden insects, which will be the topic of the monthly K-State Garden Hour webinar that he will present next Wednesday
