By Arnold Krusemark It’s two weeks until Christmas and many things need doing. About now we decide to do our Christmas shopping.

FARMER WELLNESS MINUTE

Hypertension or high blood pressure is coined the “silent killer” within the health care setting. We call it this because even though you feel fine, damage is occurring to vital organs. Think about it; increased pressure in your plumbing will eventually wreak havoc to the pump (heart), pipes (vessels) and/or filter (kidneys), among other important system components! I was trying think of the “silent killers” in agriculture (and consulted a few experts) … we couldn’t think of one specific but came up with a few; 1) ignoring fertility over time will eventually impact yields, 2) forgetting to take care of your grain in bin storage, as you may wind up with rotten corn, or 3) ignoring swine genetics and ending up with funky mutations later.
