 Wheatland-Chili Varsity Swim Team: 2020-2021 Season 

 

I, Alannah McLean, am a part of the Wheatland-Chili Varsity Swim team. This swim season has been very different from any of the past 4 years that I’ve done swimming, but it was not necessarily for the worst. I still enjoyed our season and we still got to do many of the things that we normally enjoy doing, like our annual Freshman Run. Although we could not visit one of our favorite places to go eat, Ralph and Rosie’s, we did still manage to find ways to have fun despite the situation. But now, our season is coming to a close as we finish up our final couple of weeks and approach sectionals. We have put forth a lot of effort during these troubling times and have found a way to make our sport safe and acceptable for COVID-19 guidelines, and to keep it alive. On our team, we have a few girls who have already qualified for sectionals (which will be happening Saturday, February 6th!) and we have a couple more who hopefully will qualify soon! I am overall satisfied with the outcome of our season, but I cannot wait to get back into the normal routine and enjoy the things that we once would on the Wheatland-Chili Varsity Swim Team.

Crop analysis- Alfalfa Hay

  Crop analysis- Alfalfa Hay By: Connor Ingham                 Alfalfa hay is a leguminous plant that is grown mainly for silage, animal feed, or for a nitrogen supplying cover crop. Alfalfa, unlike most other plants, can grow for up to five production years after the first cutting of hay is complete. Commonly, alfalfa is mixed with other types of grasses, such as timothy hay, or oats that provide wind protection and frost protection during the winter, due to alfalfa’s low height. To begin the planting process, alfalfa can be planted with just a dusting of soil, typically in well drained areas for best quality, during any summertime month. The plant will surface normally within 15 days where it will grow into stems with generally a distinctive tri leaf design. This trend will continue as the plant gains a bush like shape into the mature age (around a height of 12 inches). Once the plant is mature, purple...

Crop Analysis- Timothy Hay

  Crop Analysis- Timothy Hay By Connor Ingham             Timothy hay is a cool weather grass that prefers damp soil, mainly in northern climates with an optimal temperature range around 75 degrees. This hay variety is grown for an ideal pasture crop, animal feed, or a grass cover crop. Timothy similar to other hay species, since timothy is a perennial plant (growing for many year), although it does lessen in production over its lifespan. The best time to establish a timothy crop is during the summer months, roughly before mid-August, which allows the plant to grow to an ideal height before winter freezing sets in. A firm seed bed, free of any visible stones, an application of 8-10 pounds per acre and a seed depth of ½ of an inch will provide the best start to the plant’s life. Timothy can be planted along with other grass/hay varieties, such as clover, alfalfa, birds-foot trefoil, or Kentucky blue grass which will blend in...
