Late Season Insect Pest Scouting
As we pass the halfway point of this growing season, insect pest scouting should be at the top of folks’ minds. This year’s weather brought many early-season pests to our crops at the start of the growing season. Since then, crop growth has progressed, heat units and growing degree days have started to accumulate (especially in the southern part of the state), and certain insect pests may be starting to make their way to our fields.

What is a Will? Why Is It Important to Have One?
Planning for the end of life may be challenging and very emotional. Thinking about issues like end-of-life health decisions and what should happen to items you own after your death can be complicated. One tool that can help with these issues is a will. A will is a document that gives directions about what to do with your property and who should care for your children, and others you make decisions for, after your death.

Updating our Thinking about Corn Silage & Alternative Forages
Differences in nutrient composition and digestibility among corn hybrids have the potential to impact energy content of corn silage and ultimately influence dairy cow production. From the perspective of maximizing nutritive value, energy predictions of corn silage can be useful to aid producers in selecting hybrids. The MILK index was developed to predict the energy content (milk/ton) and energy yield (milk/acre) of forages.
