  1. We are in a second year drought area. I am looking to buy rolls of hay to feed horses over the winter. I have found someone who has foxtail millet rolls at a good price. The rolls look good, and the seller says he has sold a lot to horse owners and they love it. I have never run into this type of hay before and usually try to get timothy/orchardgrass mix. Any information on foxtail millet hay fed to horses would be appreciated. Published: June 18, 2009

  8. We are under the effects of a severe drought, and I am trying to decide whether to "dust in" the seed, wait for a rain, or file a claim with crop insurance. It is nearing the end of our planting season, and the crop insurance cutoff date is also within a few days. Is dusting in seed considered a good management practice in all cases?
