The farm, owned and oper- ated by Wendel and Scott Dawes, is primarily a livestock opera- tion located at the intersection of 400N and 200W. “It is a very humbling experi- ence,” Wendel said. “There are a lot of farmers who are good stewards of the land and take good care of their animals here in Wabash County and to be selected for this award is an honor.” Dawes and Dawes Farm was started in 1958 after Wendel graduated from high school and married his wife, Janene. After working for his brothers, Wendel decided to build his first building, a chick- en house capable of holding 1,000 chickens. From there, the farm has grown to where it is today, annu- ally selling 13,000 hogs and over a million pullets. “We first started off farming some ground,” Scott said. “Back in 1975 we got our first hogs and we have expanded from there. We decided soon after I graduated, to get into the veal calves, where we even- tually grew to about 2,100 veal calves. Then as the opportunities went by the wayside in the veal industry, those barns went to loose housed veal calves, then to grain calves, and now they are back in hogs.

Now, looking back over the past year or two it’s easy to say we should still be farming our ground, but we don’t have to worry about the weather or any of that. We can concentrate solely on the live- stock.” By concentrating on their livestock, Wendel and Scott have been able to keep pace with the ever-changing poultry business. “The poultry industry has changed so much in the amount of time we’ve been doing it,” Scott said. “We’ve gone from gathering the eggs by hand with my sister Dana after school to where we are nearly fully auto- mated now. The pullet people we deal with have been so proactive in the vaccines and ensuring the general health of the birds to prevent some of the health issues pullets have had over the years.

of Commerce recentlyannounced Dawes and DawesFarm as the 2012 WabashCounty Farm Family of theYear. The farm, owned and oper-ated by Wendel and Scott Dawes,is primarily a livestock opera-tion located at the intersectionof 400N and 200W.
“It is a very humbling experi-ence,” Wendel said. “There are alot of farmers who are goodstewards of the land and takegood care of their animals herein Wabash County and to beselected for this award is anhonor.”
Dawes and
Dawes Farm was started in 1958after Wendel graduated fromhigh school and married hiswife, Janene. After working forhis brothers, Wendel decided tobuild his first building, a chick-en house capable of holding1,000 chickens.
From there, the farm hasgrown to where it is today, annu-ally selling 13,000 hogs and overa million pullets.
“We first started off farmingsome ground,” Scott said. “Backin 1975 we got our first hogs andwe have expanded fromthere. We decided soon after Igraduated, to get into the veal
calves, where we even-tually grew to about2,100 veal calves.

the farm according to Scott. “You have to always look at
the opportunities that are outthere in the markets,” Scottsaid. “You have to be able toadapt your operation to reflectwhere those opportunities lie,whether it be more poultry ormore hogs or more of some-thing else.”
One such adaptation was theDawes’ choice to rent out their300 acres of farm groundinstead of farming it them-selves.
“We decided we had enoughlivestock that we didn’t reallyhave the time to farm theground, so we made the decisionto have someone farm theground and we concentrate onthe livestock,” Wendel said.
“It was a good decision at the
time because corn was $2 or $3per bushel,” Scott said of thedecision to rent out the ground.“We still have the ground tohaul manure on. Now, lookingback over the past year or twoit’s easy to say we should still befarming our ground, but wedon’t have to worry about theweather or any of that. We canconcentrate solely on the live-stock.”
By concentrating on theirlivestock, Wendel and Scott havebeen able to keep pace with theever-changing poultry business.
“The poultry industry haschanged so much in the amountof time we’ve been doing it,”Scott said. “We’ve gone fromgathering the eggs by hand withmy sister Dana after school towhere we are nearly fully auto-

or 20 degrees out-side, they’ll see we dowhatever we can totake care of our ani-mals,” Scott said. “Ifyou go back 25 or 30years when all thoseanimals are kept out-side, it was a totallydifferent environ-ment.”
Both Dawes agreed,however, that theentire process offarming together as afamily has been high-ly rewarding.
“It’s been a greatexperience and agreat place to raise afamily,” Wendel said.“I can say at this pointin my life that I don’tknow that I couldhave done anythingelse and enjoyed it asmuch as I have this.”
“Even though nei-ther one of my chil-dren, Camron a soph-omore engineeringstudent at IUPUI, andErin, a senior at
Northfield HighSchool, are looking tocome back to thefarm, it’s been a goodplace for them to growup,” Scott said. “Theyhave learned thingsyou can’t learn any-where else. They’veseen baby goats beborn - I’ve been able tosee them argue whogets to name whichgoat what. I’veenjoyed it all.”
With the next gener-ation unsure they willreturn to the farm,Scott and Wendelhave hired TravisTackett as a part-timeemployee through theHeartland CareerCenter’s ICE pro-gram.
“Even though he’spart-time now, heworks like a full-timeemployee,” Scott said.“We’re hoping he’lljoin us full-time afterhe graduates fromhigh school in the
spring.”Without the support
of their employeesand family over theyears, both Wendeland Scott say none ofthis would have beenpossible.
“My wife, Barb isbasically like anunpaid employee,”Scott said. “She’salways there to dowhat is needed to helpout, whether it’s get-ting parts in town orbringing out hun-dreds of gallons of teaover the summer.”
In the end, Scottsays he believes theFarm Family of theYear Award showshow much WabashCounty recognizes theimpact farming hason the community asa whole.
“If you look at thethe impact farms haveon the community, alot of the volunteer-ing and fundraising
type efforts are led byagribusinesses andfarmers. ” Scott said.“We appreciate thishonor and all of theChamber’s efforts torecognize the farmersin the community.”
The Dawes familywill be honored byChamber PresidentKimberly Pinkertonduring the Salute toAgriculture Banquetslated for March 25,6:30 p.m., at theWabash CountyREMC Building.

“Please rememberthose who help all ofus here in NorthCentral Indiana bygiving their time tohelp their neighbor,”said Mitch Figert,Executive Director ofthe American RedCross of NorthCentral Indiana. “Wewant to thank ourheroes financial sup-porters who help usassist those in need.”
President FranklinD. Roosevelt first pro-claimed March as RedCross Month 70 yearsago. Since 1943, everypresident, includingPresident Obama, hasdesignated March asRed Cross Month. TheAmerican Red Crossis synonymous withhelping people, andhas been doing so formore than 130 years.
The Red Crossresponds to nearly70,000 disasters a yearin this country, pro-viding shelter, food,emotional supportand other necessitiesto those affected.

lion people in firstaid, water safety andother life-saving skillsevery year.
“Red Cross Monthis a great time for peo-ple to become part ofthe Red Cross andthere are many differ-ent ways to do it,”Figert said. “Theycan develop a pre-paredness plan fortheir household,become a Red Crossvolunteer, give blood,or take a Red Crossclass, just to name afew.”
The Red Cross isnot a governmentagency and relies ondonations of time,money and blood to doits work. An averageof 91 cents of everydollar given to the RedCross is invested inhelping people inneed.

A Monthly Guide To Managing Your Wealth From
FIRST MERCHANTSTRUST COMPANY
Ask most peopleabout a "trust" andthey're likely to tellyou that it's some-thing only the verywell-to-do have, orelse it's like someVictorian furniture— stiff and awk-ward. Those peopleare simply unawareof the real story.Trusts are actually
very flexible financial- and estate-planningtools. What's more, trusts can be very usefulfor many individuals who are far from rich.
Exactly what is a trust? A trust is an arrange-ment in which you transfer money or otherassets to a trustee. The trustee (who can bean individual or an organization such asours) manages the trust property for thebenefit of another person, according to theterms and conditions that the trust agree-ment specifies. You can set up a trust duringyour life or under the terms of your will.
Trusts can be used to:
-- Manage investments -- Avoid guardianship proceedings related toincompetence -- Minimize probate costs -- Conserve property for family members orothers by protecting them from their ownmismanagement. -- Save taxes
Living Trusts
A major goal of many estate plans is toavoid the costs and publicity of probate.Trusts that are activated during lifetime —so-called "living" trusts — are often usedwith this goal in mind. A "revocable" livingtrust is one that you can change or cancel atany time.
You can transfer assets to a revocable living
trust and act as your own trustee, ifyou want. You can also appoint an-other person or an institution to serveas your trustee or co-trustee with you.(Appointing a co-trustee may be awise safeguard if you should becomeincapacitated in the future.) The as-sets you place in the trust are man-aged as any other investment wouldbe. The advantage is that on yourdeath the assets are redistributed toyour beneficiaries without passingthrough probate. A revocable livingtrust like this doesn't save estate taxesbecause you continue to control thetrust assets while you live.
Other living trusts are "irrevocable."They can't be changed. Assets youtransfer to an irrevocable trust duringyour lifetime are considered gifts.Generally, such transfers do removethe assets — and any future apprecia-tion on the assets — from your grossestate for estate-tax purposes.
To illustrate: You transfer 27 acres ofland worth $100,000 to an irrevoca-ble trust for the benefit of yourdaughter, Lucy. The transfer to thetrust is a taxable gift of the $100,000value of the land. When you die, theland is worth $400,000. Lucy gets theland, and neither the original$100,000 value nor the $300,000 ap-preciation will be included in yourgross estate.
Many other types of trusts exist thatcan be fitted to specific financial andestate-planning needs. We can pro-vide you with the professional adviceyou need to choose and create a trustfor your goals. Please contact us at260-563-4116 or 800-205-3464 formore information.

UPDATE ON JAYBIEHL: After elevenmonths at an apart-ment in Fisher’s, Jayis back at his home inNorth Carolina. Jayhad a full clinic dayon Feb. 25. Since Jaystill could not lift, hisgood friends JeffDraper and LalonAllen loaded his carand as soon as Jayhad the “all clear”from his doctor, hestarted the drivehome.
The plan had beenfor his wife, Lisa, tofly to Indy to help himwith the drive home.However, their daugh-ter, Abby, broke herankle while inWashington D.C. atthe NationalCheerleading finalsand instead of Lisacoming to Indy shehad to go to
Washington D.C. Driving by himself
meant Jay had to stopfor an over-night restin West Virginia andthen continue thedrive on Tuesdaythrough the moun-tains in rain and fog.
Lisa, Jay’s wife,posted on theirCaring Bridge site thefollowing “lastthought” at this stageof their family’s life.“A friend gifted mewith a devotionalcalled “JesusCalling.” It’s a beauti-ful, unique devotionalwritten as if Jesus istalking face to facewith the reader.
Here is a line in par-ticular that really hithome with me inthinking about ourlong wait for a trans-plant, and how, on ourbest days, we did this…and on our worstdays, we did not.“Instead of trying todirect me (God) to dothis and that, seek toattune yourself towhat I (God) amalready doing.”
She concluded bysaying “May Godbless your day todayand fill you with asense of how He isworking in your life.”Thanks to everyonefor our prayers andplease continue topray for Jay and hisfamily.

How to deal withnuisance Canada geese
If Canada geese have become a problem on your property, informa-tion is available through the Indiana Department of NaturalResources website.
Most goose problems occur from March through June, during thenesting season, when geese are especially aggressive, sometimesattacking and nipping at people.
Geese also can cause a great deal of localized damage if manyyoung are hatched in one area. After hatching, goslings are incapableof flight for about 70 days, so the young birds and their parents willgraze near the hatching area for that time. Damage to landscapingcan be significant and expensive to repair or replace, while largeamounts of excrement can render areas unfit for human use.
Information on actions property owners can take to manageCanada geese is available at dnr.IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/2996.htm
Solutions range from habitat modification, to daily goose harass-ment through noisemaking devices, to supporting goose hunting orobtaining a DNR trapping permit. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Servicealso allows landowners who are properly registered to destroy resi-dent Canada goose eggs and nests on their property.
More information on registering for federal permission to destroyeggs and nests is at https://epermits.fws.gov/ercgr/gesi.aspx. It’sagainst federal law for anyone to destroy a Canada goose nest thatcontains one or more eggs without first securing permission throughthe U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
It’s best to use preventive measures such as habitat modificationbefore geese become a nuisance.

Lilian Williams, 99Former Wabash County resident
Oct. 28, 1913 – Feb. 23, 2013
Lilian Williams, 99, passed away at home in Hot Springs Village onFeb. 23.
Fourth of eight children, she was born to Frances and WalterBowman on a farm in Wabash County, on Oct. 28, 1913.
After graduating from business college, she went to work for theLincoln Life Insurance Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In 1938, shemet and married J.B. Donnally, who was working as an actuary at thecompany. Due to nepotism rules at Lincoln at the time, she quit and gota job at the WPA at a salary of $125/month, the same amount her newhusband was earning with his master’s degree from the University ofMichigan. They had two children, Patti and John, while living in a littlehouse on 3 acres of land in Fort Wayne. In 1950, J.B. took a job with PanAmerican Life Insurance Company and they moved to New Orleans.Pan American did significant business in Latin America, so they trav-eled frequently to countries in Central and South American on business.Lilian studied Spanish and, when the wife of the company’s Presidentwas unable to do so, gave a speech to a roomful of convention delegatesin their native language.
In 1962, J.B. joined the American International Group in Hong Kong.They loved their five years there, which included travel throughout theFar East and, in fact, all over the world. Their next AIG assignment wasin New York City followed by one in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1971, atthe age of 57, J.B. decided to retire, so they set out by car to investigatevarious places where they might settle. They first stopped in Little Rock,Ark., to see their daughter and her husband. Patti suggested that theylook at a new development nearby, Hot Springs Village. They did -bought a lot - and went no further.
They moved into the Village in January 1972, joining only 125 otherfull-time residents. At first, they rented a house on Lake Desoto beforeit had even been dammed and filled; they later moved to a house onSonora Way. By the time the utilities were brought to the lot they hadbought to build their dream house, J.B. was fighting cancer and thedream was never realized. Lilian founded the Women’s Golf Associationin the Village; she loved playing golf and collected several trophies alongwith two holes-in-one over the years.
In 1978, J.B. passed away, and Lilian spent the next five years traveling.She married Lester Williams in 1983 and moved into his Hot SpringsVillage home on El Espinar Lane where they lived until moving to GoodSamaritan Cedar Lodge in 2004. They are members of the WoodlandsPresbyterian Church.
Lilian is survived by her husband, Lester Williams, and by her twochildren, Patti Leathers (and husband John Brunk), Overland Park, Ka.,and John Donnally (and wife Phyllis) Dallas, Texas, along with sixgrandchildren, four great-grandchildren, four stepchildren, and manystep-grandchildren, as well as two sisters and a brother.

Ryan Keaffaber hita volleyball line three pointer atthe buzzer to send the game toovertime, with the Norse pullingout a 54-48 win.In game two Wabash took on
who many thought was the sec-tional favorite in Lewis Cass.The Kings had defeated WabashFeb. 9 86-67. The Apaches re-membered that night and cameout swinging, pulling off theupset 83-77.As in most games between
Northfield and Southwood thegame was not over until it wasover. In the first quarter theteams would punch and counterpunch with the score being tiedor a lead change 7 times. Corey Phillipy put the Knights
up 2-0 with a layup before Mar-cus Kroh knotted the score. Withneither team burning up thenets the Knights led 8-7 with 2:00to go and neither team wouldscore again until Ryan Keaffaberwas fouled as time expired, hit-ting both free throws and theNorse led 9-8 after one.The Norse would get on the
board first in the second quarteron a Jon Richardson layup to goup 11-8. Corey Phillipy wouldthen hit twice in a row to givethe Knights the lead back at 12-11 and it was game on. TheNorse were up 16-12 when South-wood made a move. The Knightswould go on an 11-0 run to grab a23-16 lead with 1:04 to go. Therun started with a Shane Smithfree throw and ended with aCorey Phillipy free throw. With0:27 seconds remaining CarterFrieden knocked down a threepointer for the Norse and theKnights led 23-19 at the half.The Knights would start off
fast in the third quarter, gettingbuckets from Smith, Phillipyand Jackson Blair to open a 29-19lead. Ryan Keaffaber would stopthe run with a three point play tocut the lead to 29-22 before Smithhit again. Down 31-22 the Norsewould score the last 8 points ofthe quarter to trail by one, 31-30.Collin Dawes, Keaffaber andTanner Wilcox all scored duringthe 8-0 run.The Knights would start the
fourth quarter with a bucketfrom Corey Phillipy, withbrother Ross then getting a stealand hitting Nathan Hollars for alayup and Southwood led 35-30
just 30 seconds in to the quarter. The Knights led 35-32 after an-
other Wilcox bucket for theNorse when Smith and Blair hitto lead 39-32. The Knights wouldcontinue to hold their lead andwere up 44-41 with time runningout when Ryan Keaffaberdrained a three at the buzzerfrom long distance to put thegame in overtime.Northfield would take the
early lead in the overtime on athree from Collin Dawes andwere up 50-46 with 2:22 to go.Corey Phillipy hit two freethrows that was answered withone free throw from Keaffaberand the Norse lead was 51-48 at1:30. The Knights would foul Keaf-
faber with 1:06 left, with Ryanhitting one shot to make it 52-48.After a missed Southwood at-tempt Marcus Kroh grabbed therebound, out letting to CollinDawes who hit Adam Roser for alayup with 0:52 remaining,which would be the final pointsof the night as the Norse pulledoff the 54-48 win.Ryan Keaffaber led the Norse

led with 19 points. Shane Smithadded 16, Jackson Blair 9, LeviSutton 2, Nathan Hollars 2.In game two Wabash was look-
ing for revenge and knew beingout sized that a fast and furiouspace to wear down the tallerKings would be their shot.Wabash controlled the pace, butthe Kings kept pace in the firstquarter as the two teams racedup and down the floor. Cassjumped out to a quick 6-0 lead be-fore Andrew Adamson drainedhis first three of the night. TheKings would build their lead to10-3 and were up 18-9 when theApaches got back in the game. Wabash’s style gets them
points in bunches and that’swhat happened the last 1:52 ofthe quarter, as the Apaches wenton a 12-1 run. Tyler King bangedhome a three that was followedby a Cody King bucket to make it18-14 at 1:32. Breyton Nealiswould then hit two free throwsand get another bucket fromCody King to tie the score at 18with .50 left. After a Cass freethrow Jordan Blair hit with .17left to give Wabash a 20-19 lead.After a Cass miscue, AndrewAdamson raced the full length ofthe court for a layup at thebuzzer and Wabash led 22-19
after one.The Apaches would get the
first bucket of the second quar-ter by Nealis to lead 24-19. Casswould get to within one pointtwice the first three minutes be-fore Wabash opened the gap a lit-tle. Leading 31-30 with 5:23remaining the Apaches would goon a run. Wabash would score 9straight points to increase theirlead to 40-31. The run was started with a
Grant Sailors layup and endedwith a Tyler King bucket.Wabash would then go cold,needing to take time off theclock as Cass scored 10 straightto tie the score at 40 by the half.Only one point was scored the
first two minutes of the thirdquarter, which was a free throwby Cass to lead 41-40. TylerBrewer got the Apaches goingwith a bucket and increasedtheir lead to 46-41 on a TaylorVigar jumper. Wabash increased their lead to
52-45 with three’s from Adamsonand Vigar and held the lead therest of the quarter with Cass hit-ting at the buzzer to make it 57-56 Wabash with a quarter to go.With the February 9th game
on everyone’s mind, you won-dered when Cass would make apush. The push came at the startof the fourth quarter when theKings scored the first 6 points tolead 62-57.Wabash did not panic, getting
two free throws from GrantSailors and a bucket from TylerBrewer to cut the King lead to 62-61. After a Cass bucket, TylerKing nailed a three to knot thescore at 64 and it was game on.Tied at 66 with 4:02 to go, Adam-son would steal the ball, hit thelayup while being fouled andconvert the three point play togive Wabash a 69-66 lead. Up and down the floor they
went with Cass cutting theWabash lead to 75-73 with 1:49 onthe clock. With 1:03 left, Wabashled 79-77 .

by Gary AndrewsIt was championship night at
the Manchester boys’ basketballsectional Saturday with theManchester Squires and theNorthfield Norsemen going tobattle. Ironically, the last timeManchester had won a sectionalwas in 1995 when current North-field head coach Moe Smedleycoached the Squires. The Norse-men were going for their secondstraight sectional crown andfourth overall under Smedley.Manchester made it to the
final game by defeating Oak Hill55-53 in the first semi-final gameFriday. Northfield was in thefinal by edging Southwood 54-48in overtime Wednesday and top-ping Wabash 87-61 Friday.Everything went right for the
Squires early, racing out to aneight-point lead and making theNorse play catch up most of thefirst half. Being calm and stay-ing patient, the Norse took thelead midway in the third quarterand held off the Squires for a 51-47 win and a second straight sec-tional title.With both teams being a bit jit-
tery at the start of the game, thefirst two points didn’t come untilthe 6:47 mark when Collin Daweshit two free throws to give North-field a 2-0 lead. With nearly threeand a half minutes gone in thequarter the score was still 2-0when Claudell Dickantone wenton a hot streak. Dickantonewould drain three straight threepointers to give Manchester a 9-2 lead and was followed by aChase Fierstos bucket to make it11-2. Tanner Wilcox would stopthe Squire run with two freethrows with 2:16 left to make it

11-4. Phoenix Goad would scorethe final bucket of the quarter asthe Squires led 13-4, holdingNorthfield without a bucket theentire quarter.As cold as the Norse were in
the first quarter, it was quite theopposite in the second. CollinDawes would start the quarternailing a three with Adam Roseradding two free throws to cut theSquire lead to 13-9. Dickantonewould then hit from behind thearch for the fourth time and wasanswered by a three point playfrom Roser, making it 16-12. Refusing to give in, the
Squires got a bucket from NeilUnderwood and a three fromChase Fierstos to make it 21-14and with 4:06 left, the Squires gota bucket from Phoenix Goad tolead 23-17. Just as they did in the game
against Wabash on Friday, theNorse would get hot and go on arun. Adam Roser would lead a10-0 charge by the Norse, scoringsix points that included a threepointer as the Norse stormedback to take a 27-23 lead. TheSquires would get a free throwfrom Dickantone and a steal fora bucket from Fierstos to end thehalf with Northfield leading 27-26.Jon Richardson would get the
first bucket of the third quarterbefore Clayton Petrie connectedfor a three to make it 30-29.Northfield leading scorer RyanKeaffaber would hit his first andonly bucket of the game with5:00 remaining to give Northfielda 32-29 lead before Dickantone
would hit his fifth and sixththree pointer to put the Squiresback up 35-32. The two teamswould trade buckets and with1:15 left the Squires still led 37-34before Roser converted a threepoint play to knot the score at 37. After a missed shot by the
Squires, Collin Dawes hit a onehand, ten-foot floater at thebuzzer to give the Norse a 39-37lead with a quarter to go.Neil Underwood tied the game
right away to start the fourthwhen Norse sharp shooterCollin Dawes found the rangefrom behind the arch to give theNorse a 42-39 lead. Both offenseswould go stagnant for severalminutes as the nerves started totake over when Chase Fierstoswould draw the Squires towithin one with a bucket. Dawes then found the range
behind the arch again with 1:21on the clock to give Northfield a45-41 lead. The Norse would getthe next point of the game on anAdam Roser free throw to lead46-41 with 1:05 remaining. TheSquires would work the ball, get-ting a bucket from Dickantonewith 51.7 left to make it 46-43 andNorthfield calling time out. After two Tanner Wilcox free
throws made it 48-43 the Squiresgot buckets from Fierstos andUnderwood to make it 48-47 with26.2 left. The Squires would foulwith Wilcox converting from theline again as the Norse madefree throws down the stretch tonip Manchester 51-47.Leading Northfield was Adam

brought on by thearrival of enoughsnow and rain havemade no-till an evenmore viable andattractive option forcorn and soybeangrowers than it was
last spring.“We’ve seen more
frost activity, andthat’s been really ben-eficial in terms ofaccomplishing somedeeper soil loosen-ing,” Tony Vyn said.
Winter weather loosened soil; no-till a viable option“The fact is that we’rehaving more rain, andif that continues thisspring there’s agreater danger ofcompaction whendoing spring tillageprematurely in fieldsthat are too wet forthose operations.”
When makingspring tillage deci-sions, Vyn said farm-ers should gaugeoperation timing, soilhistory and soil mois-ture.
“Spring tillage deci-sions need to be madeby first consideringthe crop to be grown,the previous crop andthe individual fieldsituation,” he said.“And it’s extremelyimportant to be care-ful on the timing ofany spring tillageoperation.”
Vyn recommendedthat farmers do mini-mum tillage in orderto leave as much cropresidue as possible onfields. Leaving cropresidue reduces soilerosion and can leadto better water-useefficiency.
Beyond traditionaltillage and no-till,growers have someintermediate options,such as strip tillage,shallow verticaltillage systems andsingle-pass cultivatorsystems when pri-mary fall tillage wasnot done.
If tillage is neces-sary and once theright system is cho-sen, farmers should
check the soil mois-ture at the depth ofthe tillage implementand an inch or twobelow to ensure thesoil is sufficiently drybefore completingoperations.
“Avoid being out inthe fields too early,”Vyn said. “It’s crucialto look at the timingand depth of tillageoperations to makesure we’re accom-plishing an improve-ment in soil structurerather than contribut-ing to a pooper soilstructure.”
According to Vyn,no tillage is necessaryin fields where soy-beans follow soybeansand most fields werecorn follows soy-beans. But in high-residue situations,such as when corn fol-lows corn, tillagemight be needed.High commodityprices in the past few
years have encour-aged farmers toinstall field drainagesystems to help soildry earlier in springor following heavyrainfall.
That extra drainagealso helps with no-tilland strip-till prac-tices.
“As we learned fromthe drought last year,there is a huge benefitin keeping topsoil inplace to help maintainroot-zone soil mois-ture in dry weatherperiods, particularlyin sloping fields,” Vynsaid.
Last year’s droughtin Indiana startedearly in the season,and Vyn said farmersdidn’t see as muchgrowth benefit fromno-till as they normal-ly might have. Butthis year, fields arealready more loos-ened from winterweather.
