2023 – Year of the Stockman Ruth Woiwode Nebraska Extension Specialist – Animal Care & Handling
Local Interest
Managing nitrate in drought stressed corn has been the topic of the fall at the lab. But before sending in a sample, ask yourself this question:
Am I submitting a sample to understand agronomics of nitrate in my plants?
Or am I submitting a sample to find out if nitrate levels are harmful if stalks are fed to livestock?
Ward Laboratories, Inc. experts, Dr. Nick Ward, Rebecca Kern-Lunbery, and Dr. Ray Ward discuss ideas for managing nitrate in drought stressed corn from both an agronomic and livestock feed perspective.
This summer has been hot, hot, hot! Lincoln had 54, 90+ F days from May through August 31st. In unwatered portions of the landscape many are seeing cracked soil - a good indication conditions are dry.
