Consider Rotation (Town and Country Tips by Dave Plocher) Crop rotations were very important before fertilizers became more abundant and when farms were more diversified. Even today, rotation offers a potential for increased profits for farms. Take these factors into consideration when putting together your 1980 cropping plan:, supply and demand factors that may affect the price you will receive, decreased nitrogen needs of corn following soybeans, decreased insecticide needs of corn following soybeans and decreased tillage needs of corn after soybeans. Garden Planning--The vegetable, fruit, and flower catalogs are pouring into my office from many different companies. With this and no snow, Spring seems just around the corner When you are planning your garden for this year, consider planting some potatoes. Th'ey can be planted as soon as the frost is gone and the soil dry enough to work. Since harvest can then be early, once the tubers are large enoughyou can intercrop with some vine crops. Accident Prevention-- Farmers, you cannot control many of the elements you encounter each day in your job but you can prevent costly accidents. The key is good management. Commercial firms have developed safety^ programs that have paid off in fewer injuries and property damage. Their example can be followed. Twenty-five percent of all farm accidents involve farm machinery before spring and set up a regular main­ tenance schedule. Supply employees with personal protection equipment such as safety goggles, safety helmets, leather gloves and ear and respiratory protection. Also, wear shoes and boots with metal toes and reinforced soles. In addition, keep updated on new safety equipment, wear safe clothing, and be sure youngsters are assigned jobs they can safely perform. On Feb. 9, the Farm Bureau Women's committee has planned a Farm-Rescue Squad Safety day. It is vital that farmers, farm family members and rescue squad personnel be informed in case of accidents. Each group will be training the other in the special safety program. Bioassay for Herbicide Carryover--Current crop prices and the supply- demand situation may have you considering a change in your 1980 cropping pattern. A common question, when considering this type of change, is - "Are harmful herbicides present?" The primary concern is triazine presence. Others may cause a problem, though. - A relatively simple procedure can tell you if you must worry. It is called a bioassay test. A simple test calls for collecting soil and then attempting to grow the specific plants susceptible to damage by the herbicide in question.

Ammonia and Feed Corn Drying--No temperature and low temperature corn drying for feed com is getting an encouraging aid from ammonia gas. .The EPA has approved the trickle ammonia process for corn that is used for livestock feed. The ammonia *gas keeps the corn from spoiling during the one to two month period it may take for no temperature or low temperature drying. It also keeps molds and ftnicroorganisms from growing. > • The process applies an intermittent trickle of ammonia gas in the air flowing through the corn. "Assuming the process were used on a billion bushels of corn every year, it could save enough energy to heat 100,000 central Illinois homes," according to Science and Education administration researcher Rodney Bothast. Nurseryman's Update-- Insects, labor management and weed control will be topics discussed by nursery specialists at the Feb. 21 update for area nurserymen (and ladies). In addition, a panel of nursery operators will discuss specialty crops and more. The update will be at the Botanic Gardens, Lake-Cook road, Glencoe, 111.
