Crops are all over the place this year. Here on Clinton Camp Farm, cen. NY we got the oats in by the end of April. Temps were cool all May with less than normal rainfall. Most the local farmers were able to get their corn planted by May 20th. Some didn't and it shows. Seed germination was very slow, but treated field corn did germinate with a good percentage.
Un treated corn like I planted in my garden had a terable germination rate. I planted my sweet corn and garden beans 3 times, last with treated seed to get a decent stand. A lot of my squash never came up. Spuds and garlic look great. The custom spray guys were out 5-10 days after planting, but were plagued with unpredictable winds and were adjusting boom heidth to control drift, but any of you that farm know that is not a good practice. Preemergent weed control suffered, and they are back now spraying post emergents to get the weeds that germinated after the first round missed. Getting back to the oats, they are 16-20" tall and they have headed out well, but I doubt that they will yeild much weight/bu. due to lack of moisture. Straw crop from the oats looks good. Early beans look pretty good, but late ones are strugling. Had a decent crop of first cut alfalfa, taken off the second week of June, 3.5 ton/A, but second cut is sparce with hardly any bottom grasses, and it is about ready to flower. Like many others; we really need some good all day soakers to get the crops growing again. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
