Grain producers urged to prepare soil nutrients this fall

Grain producers are advised to begin preparations for the upcoming growing season by applying nutrients to the soil in the fall. This period is considered optimal due to several factors, including the potential to avoid delays in spring planting. Kentucky's fall weather is typically drier, which minimizes the risk of soil compaction during nutrient application. Additionally, purchasing fertilizer during cooler months can offer economic benefits.

This edition also provides information on various topics such as fall nutrient applications, November KY Fencing School, alternative storage systems for times of higher yields, and timely tips from "Off the Hoof." Other subjects covered include non-timber forest products like shagbark and shellbark hickories and a recipe for wild turkey & broccoli casserole. The publication concludes with extension updates and details about upcoming events.
