Agriculture

We are at the point where farmers would normally start to apply nitrogen (N) to hayfields to boost spring and early summer production levels.  Current price levels for nitrogen, P, and K are almost identical to where they were a year ago.  As a result, the results/summary and tables used last year are still applicable now and can be viewed at www.ca.uky.edu.

Weed Control: An initial application of glyphosate between emergence and the fourth trifoliolate growth stage is important to establish a thick and productive alfalfa stand.

We appreciate everyone who attended and supported the first 4-H chili supper at the Washington County Extension Office last Thursday night. The Washington County Homemakers, along with several 4-H families, provided the homemade cookies and brownies. Several local businesses supported the event with supplies and discounts. The proceeds will go toward camp scholarships this summer.
