Poisonous Plants in the Pasture
This week our special guest will be Cliff Little, Agriculture Educator from Ohio State Extension to talk about <b>"Poisonous Plants in Pastures and the Landscape”.</b><br />Recognizing poisonous plants and properly managing animals, pastures and hay fields will help minimize the potential of poisoning animals. Most poisonings occur in the early spring or during a drought when feed is short. Plants which animal normally will not eat become a potential source of food and a potential source for poisoning, because animals are hungry and searching for food. Also, some herbicides may increase the palatability of some weeds.<br />Nitrate poisonings, acorns, buckeyes, water and poison hemlock, cyanide poisoning caused by sorghum species and chokecherry plants, glycoside poisoning from nightshades and cocklebur and photosensitive skin reactions from St. Johnswort and buckwheat are just a few issues livestock producers may deal with.<br />Homeowners deal with poison ivy, Tree of Heaven, pokeweed, nightshades, stinging nettle and other weeds, ornamentals and houseplants.<br />Cliff will share his insights and management tips to avoid poisonous plants and treatment options for affected animals and people.<br />

Dealing with Drought with Dr. Ed Rayburn
This week our special guest will be WVU Extension retired Agronomy Specialist Dr. Ed Rayburn to talk about <b>"Drought Management for Livestock Farmers in West Virginia”</b><br />The summer of 2024 has been exceptionally dry. Pasture and hay production has been severely reduced by lack of rain fall and extreme heat. Since 1900, West Virginia has experienced several noteworthy droughts, including 1904, 1930–31, 1941, 1954, 1966, and 1988. <br />Many livestock farmers are hauling water as water sources have been severely affected by the lack of rainfall. In addition, they are also feeding winter hay reserves as grass growth in pastures has slowed significantly. Hay will be in short supply and is increasing in price. <br />Farmers should also take this opportunity to implement any needed management changes. Managed grazing practices such as pasture rotation, sufficient recovery periods, and appropriate stocking rates make pastures naturally more tolerant of drought conditions.<br />Dr. Rayburn will discuss strategies farmers can utilize to minimize the effects of drought on livestock production and profitability.<br />

Backyard Fruit Trees with Adams County Nursery
Growing tree fruits in the home orchard or landscape can be an interesting and satisfying hobby. Fruit trees do, however, require considerable care, and people who are not willing or able to devote some time to their home orchard probably will be disappointed in their harvests. When fruit trees are carefully selected, properly located, and well managed, they can enhance the home landscape and provide fresh fruit for the family.
