Published September 19, 2008 03:36 pm - A friend recently walked around a yard and went to see a tree in a pasture without first spraying. He apparently stepped on a chigger nest (yes, they have nests) and the following day counted more than 100 bites on his body.
Mike Surbrugg: Battle with chiggers still under way
Don’t put away the spray you use to keep away chiggers!
A friend recently walked around a yard and went to see a tree in a pasture without first spraying. He apparently stepped on a chigger nest (yes, they have nests) and the following day counted more than 100 bites on his body.
He treated them by scratching, applying rubbing alcohol and taking three hot showers with baking soda on a wash cloth.
Questions answered at county extension centers:
Q: What are red wattle hogs?
A: It is a breed of hogs that have wattle skin tags hanging from each jaw.
Q: Are the many mushrooms in my lawn safe to eat?
A: No, unless an expert says otherwise. It is better to buy them at the store.
Q: Should I spray earworms in my soybean fields?
A: Spray if you have a lot of them. Plants are still growing and the worms are all that stands between you and a good crop.
Q: Should I spray a fungicide on wheat I saved to plant this year?
A: Yes.
Q: Why do my calves and yearling cattle have polio?
A: It could be caused by high sulfur in the feed such as that found in ethanol byproducts or corn gluten feed and a mineral supplement with a lot of sulfur.
Q: Should I make a steer out of a calf that does not have the hair color I desire?
