Dan Stokes weren’t alone in their quest to plant corn
earlier last spring. For many corn growers, one of the most difficult
decisions to make is when to begin planting. If you plant too early,
the crop may not pull through harsh early spring conditions. If you
wait, you may not get all your acres planted on time and suffer yield
loss, by as much as 20%, from late planting.
Smith says a new “intelligent” seed coating with a built-in
temperature switch set to keep moisture out before soil temperatures
reach 55 degrees F. and let moisture in after that helped make the
decision easier. He planted hybrid corn with “Intellicoat”
and says he’ll plant more acres this spring. While Smith planted
Fielder’s Choice Direct hybrid corn, “Intellicoat”
is now available on three brands and is expected to be added to many
more by the 2004 planting season..<more>
More free time to spend with family, in addition to earlier
planting resulting in higher yields, is one of the side benefits
Avon, Illinois, “Intellicoat” corn grower Kent Lock
enjoys.

ROME, ITALY -- In response to mounting concern among
the general public about the vast hunger crisis gripping the African continent,
the United Nations World Food Programme today announced the creation of
a global campaign to assist more than 38 million victims.
The "Africa Hunger Alert" campaign is in reaction
to spontaneous grass-roots initiatives originating among student communities
in the United States and Canada and that now stretch from Europe to Hong
Kong. These student and community groups have committed themselves to
help generate an international response to the catastrophic conditions
in Africa caused primarily by shifting weather patterns, as well as by
the HIV/AIDS epidemic and, in some countries, political instability and
failed economic policies.
