Garden lust

"Winter in this part of the world has drug on and on, and has now entered its eighteenth month. It's gotten so bad that my wife and I -- both of us avid non-golfers -- have taken to watching the golf channel just so we can catch a glimpse of something green," writes South Dakota farmer and Views writer Jerry Nelson. "Given these dire circumstances, you can't really blame a guy for daydreaming a bit. This fantasy has even infected my wife, who now agrees with me that we MUST put in a big garden next spring when -- or if -- it arrives."

Rich Fee: Ways to protect N

"One of the first articles I wrote for Successful Farming magazine almost 28 years ago was about the nitrogen stabilizer N-Serve. In simplest terms, when conditions are right for nitrogen loss, N-Serve can help prevent nitrogen from escaping," writes Crops and Soils Editor Rich Fee. "However, when conditions are not conducive to nitrogen loss, it's not needed and represents an extra expense."
