Mike Surbrugg: Battle with chiggers still under way

A: Pay more attention to the calf’s genetics than to hair color.

Q: Is the shrub oleander poisonous?

A: Yes. It is attractive but is poisonous to humans.

Q: Why are there some yellow leaves on the top of soybean plants?

A: It is cercosper, a blight that is a fungus. Symptoms look like potassium deficiency. It is too late to react this year. Rotate crops to prevent the fungus.

Q: Will mineral supplements help cattle recover from fescue stress problems?

A: No, unless you have poor fescue.

Q: Will cattle grazing lush pastures this fall need a high magnesium mineral to protect them from grass tetany?

A: No.
