PULLEN Associate Agricultural Repre- sentative for Huron County Rains continued to hold up the white bean harvest and made silo filling operations very difficult last week. Dry, sunny weather is required to combine the still unharvested large acreage of white beans. Frost has affected crops in many areas of the county, some to advantage, others to disadvant- age. Observations would indicate that fall wheat sown during the dry period is germinating unevenly. More supplementary feeding of dairy cattle has started as pastures continue their normal fall decline.
