May 1, 2020 COVID-19 & SEASONAL EMPLOYEMENT January 6, 2021 Moore Seed Farm Featured in 2020 We had the great opportunity to participate in a feature segment for the Michigan Soybean Promotion Committees marketing campaign to reach foreign markets during the “time of Covid”. It was a lot of fun participating and we appreciate the opportunity! <br/> May 1, 2020 COVID-19 & SEASONAL EMPLOYEMENT DETASSELING 2020 Update Update on summer employment opportunities. These are unprecedented times. 2020 is planned to be our 58th year of hiring local youth for detasseling seed corn and even in a time of a pandemic, the work still needs to be done! However, for the first time ever, we have been charged with new challenges on how we recruit, manage and operate our seasonal crews. Over the next few months, we will be working hard to prepare for our local youth to join us again this summer! Please keep in mind that things are subject to change as we navigate through this unprecedented time. WHAT WE ARE DOING: THESE ARE A FEW OF THE STEPS WE ARE PLANNING TO IMPLEMENT IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR STAFF, THE LOCAL KIDS, AND OUR COMMUNITY SAFE. ADJUSTING OUR PROCESSES TO KEEP CREW MEMBERS SOCIALLY DISTANT. PROVIDING FACE COVERINGS AND OTHER PPE DEEMED NECESSARY. INCREASING SANITATION OF SHARED SPACES. ESSENTIAL FUN! Our work is essential... There is work to be done and this is an important job. But it can still be fun! With so many changes in our regular lives, we are hoping to provide crew members with a safe, fun and active way for them to earn some money, spend time with peers, and enjoy the outdoors! “You cannot have a happy, healthy and peaceful continent without food.” -John Muhaise-Bikalemesa NEW!

As the row crops come off the fields for the season, some mid-mitten farmers are considering last minute options for cover crop to help recover some of the vital nutrients that were stripped from soils during 2017’s lower than normal rainfall. Drought ridden crops tend to leave behind residual nitrates in the soil at harvest time and applying the right cover crop can help scavenge the excess Nitrogen and rebuild the organic matter necessary for the next cash crop in the spring. When considering what cover crop is best for your operation, be sure to check out the benefits of a cereal rye. Desired because of its later seeding date, winter hardiness, and tolerance to a variety of soil types, rye outperforms most of its cover crop competitors. Moore Seed Farm is a grower and wholesale dealer of rye seed, offering both a VNS cover crop rye and certified Wheeler Rye. A cereal winter variety, Wheeler Rye, was developed here in Michigan and produced exclusively at Moore Seed Farm. It is available in bushel bags, 40-unit totes and bulk orders, and pricing is based on quantities. Interested in learning more about what cover crops available in our local area? Check out the upcoming program, “Cropping and Topping Field Day: Don’t Farm in the Nude, Cover your Fields”, September 28th at 4:00 pm in Laingsburg. Hosted by the MAEAP, MSU Extension, and the Clinton County Conservation District, area farmers and industry professionals join together for an afternoon of in-field learning. Moore Seed Farm’s, Wendi Eldridge, will be there to participate in the fun and answer any questions that you might have on how rye could benefit you!
