This self-paced training aid includes videos and additional linked resources aimed at walking new participants to the industry through basic production and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) options for potatoes grown in Wisconsin.
November tends to be the time when parts of Wisconsin see anhydrous tanks roll across the landscape, fertilizing in preparation for the spring corn crop. Although not necessarily an easy product to interact with and is not as prevalent in some areas as maybe it once was, the appeal of anhydrous’ affordability pound for pound compared to other nitrogen sources remains notable, as well as some other advantages.
This fact sheet was designed to walk you through that decision-making process and assist you in selecting forage species that are compatible with your farm and complimentary to each other. While there are many great seed mixes that are commercially available, this resource is intended to empower farmers to develop an establishment plan that fits their objectives and design a seed mix that is tailored to their farm.

The best seed-cleaning system depends on crop type, contamination issues, desired seed quality, and budget. For many farms, a fanning mill offers an excellent balance of flexibility, cleaning effectiveness, and affordability. Additional equipment such as aspirators, gravity tables, or optical sorters can be added to address specific seed quality challenges as needs evolve.
Decades of university research suggest something surprising: for most fields, annual soil testing provides little added value. The real question is not how often you can test but how often you can gather information that guides a management decision.
