Helping fuel sales are rela- ers typically begin back-to- school shopping three to four weeks before the school year begins. In some parts of the county, school opens in mid- August. But driving even earlier sales is the move to Internet shopping. "It's likely half of con- sumers will do some back- to-school shopping online," Feinberg says. "And those shoppers will start early to allow for shipping time. That probably moves up the start of their shopping by at least a week."

Forage crops could provide opportunities following corn crops could help grain and livestock producers salvage some value from their fields once the drought-ravaged corn crop has been harvest- ed—if soil moisture returns to a level that can support plant growth. While damaged corn can A wide range of forage By Jennifer Stewart be used as forage to feed live- stock, it won't be enough to thwart forage shortages. Sev- eral forage crops are avail- able for Indiana growers to plant in late summer or early fall, and that could serve as livestock feed in the spring. "For the August seeding, an excellent consideration would be spring oat that will be harvested by machine, or a combination of spring oat and forage turnip if grazed by livestock," said Keith Johnson, Purdue Extension forage specialist. "Spring oat will not survive the winter." "While the expectation is for turnips to winterkill, too, it has been observed that they can survive a mild Indi- ana winter." Another possible choice is annual rye grass, but grow- ers who go this route need to pay close attention to keep the crop from becoming a nuisance. Johnson recom- mended an early seeding to have both fall and spring harvests. Some small grains also could be options. "Carefully selected variet- ies of soft red winter wheat, winter cereal rye and winter triticale are adapted across the state of Indiana," John- son said. "These crops can be lightly grazed in the fall if weather conditions favor growth, and there is an ex- pectation to produce more abundant forage the follow- ing spring." While some farmers might be tempted to select a winter barley, Johnson said it's not as winter-hardy as some of the other small grains. A major factor in select- crops or fall forages, so these species often fall under the "other crops" listed section at the maximum restriction period, said Travis Legleit- er, Purdue Extension weed scientist. "These restrictions are ing a forage crop to follow corn is the type of herbicides used on the cornfield. Her- bicides are labeled with re- strictions because some re- siduals can damage a forage crop seeding. Most herbicide labels do not specifically list the spe- cies that are used for cover meant to protect the rota- tion crop, and the end con- sumers and livestock con- suming the harvested crop," he said. More information about herbicide restrictions is available in Purdue Exten- sion's free publication, "Cov- er Crops and the Corn and Soybean Herbicide Rotation- al Restrictions," available at http://www.btny.purdue. edu/WeedScience/2011/ CoverCrops11.pdf.
