This should be an excellent year for after FARM REPORT
harvest treatments to control twitch grass.
Harvest will be early and there will be lots
of time for the twitch to grow to the ideal
growth stage for chemical treatment
which is 15 to 20 cm.
Plowing is a necessary part of the
chemical treatment and should be done
five days after the application of Roundup.
Waiting for the twitch to look dead is a
common mistake.
Also, if you plan to use Roundup, don't
cultivate or disc after harvest because it is
necessary to wait 60 growing days follow-
ing cultivation for the twitch to be ready to
spray. Be sure "to follow all label
instructions.
WINTER CEREALS
The more top there is on winter wheat
and barley, the more chance there is of in-
fection from crop residues. Head Blight,
Bunts, Mildew, Snow Mold, Tan Spot, Foot
Rots, Eyespot, Take -All and Barley
Yellow Dwarf are diseases that spread
from crop residue.
The suggested time for seeding winter
cereals is September 25 to October 10.
The other method of disease prevention
is clean plowing (burying all residue) This
is opposite to the recommended practices
to prevent erosion, but the disease control
is worth the risk to the soil.
TRIPARTITE STABILIZATION
An option has been developed for feeder
cattle along with a combined
slaughter/feeder option. The margin prin-
cipal was used in the new option similar to
the slaughter cattle and hog options. The
details are too involved for a newspaper
report.
The basic concept is that 90 percent of
the margin between the national average
market price and national average pro-
duction costs for each quarter is
guaranteed. The production costs include
the replacement animal, feed, transporta-
tion, interest and selling charges.
The plan was designed deliberately not
to interfere with the market place. This
concept is superior to plans that are only
tied to the market place. There is a
possibility of payment under the margin,
concept even in the face of high market
place prices if costs rise faster than the
market.
Full details and applications are
available at OMAF offices.
The deadline for application is August
31, 1987.

How many men does it take to put up a screen window? Apparently three. One holds
the ladder while the other nails the screen. The third gentleman watches to assure
that all goes according to plan. No matter how many it took, it was a job well done.
