Irons in the Fire: He ain’t much of a mentioner

This reflection leans into the familiar comfort of shared cultural circles and the stories that bind them. A reference to Lonesome Dove provides the common touchstone, highlighting the lasting pull of Robert Duvall’s unforgettable Augustus McCrae.

Paul Marchant

Across forage barleys and oats, researchers tracked yield, quality, regrowth and economics under irrigation in southern Idaho. The results reveal clear trade-offs: Earlier cuts boost protein and regrowth, while later harvests maximize tonnage and energy.
January 29, 2026
Jacob Bevan, J. Reed Findlay, Janhvi Pandey, Joseph Sagers, and Jared Spackman

Harvest timing in small grains isn’t just a detail – it’s the difference between profit and loss. New University of Idaho research shows how barley and oats stack up when cut at boot, heading/milk or soft-dough stage.

Sorghum-sudan as an alternative summer forage for the Southeast

Warm‑season annual forages such as sorghum-sudan, pearl millet, sunn hemp and cowpea offer superior nutritive value and daily gains compared to perennial warm‑season grasses. They can support 2 to 3 pounds of gain per head per day and high stocking densities when managed intensively.
January 21, 2026
Maria Elena Maihos and Marcelo Wallau

Warm‑season annuals are gaining attention in the Southeast as producers look for higher‑quality forages that outperform traditional bahiagrass and bermudagrass.
