Soil Testing at LCFB With spring here and summer just around the corner the Lake County Farm Bureau would like to remind our members about our soil testing program. There are three different tests available which will help you learn how to improve the soil in your lawn/garden.
Why a soil test? Soil in its natural state is rarely fertile enough for the best growth of plants. Usually it is necessary to replenish the earth’s store of plant nutrients to obtain the most vigorous lawn, the most abundant and brilliant flowers, the prettiest trees and shrubs, and the greatest yield of fresh veggies.
What is the best time to test soil? Proper sampling is important to obtain accurate results. Samples can be taken any time during the warmer months, when soil temperatures are at least 55 degrees. If the soil is too wet to spade, rototill or hoe, it is generally too wet to take a sample. On the other hand, extremely dry soil should not be sampled either.
How often should I test? Ideally, soil should be tested every 3-5 years, more frequently with intensive use. Try to sample during the same season each time for best comparison.
SOIL TEST PRICES: Basic Lawn/Garden Lawn/Garden Test Test Plus Test
Non-member $35 $45 $60Member $25 $35 $50
Basic Test includes soil pH, Phosphorus (P1), Potassium (K), and Organic Matter levels.
Lawn/Garden Test includes soil pH, Phosphorus (P1), Potassium (K), and Organic Matter level and fertility recommendations if needed.
Lawn/Garden Plus Test includes soil pH, Phosphorus (P1), Potassium (K), Organic Matter, buffer pH, C alcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), % Base Saturation, Sulfur (S), Zinc, (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), Boron (B), and fertility recommendations if

Annual Meeting
2017 Census of Ag ResultsThe USDA recently released the results from the
latest US Census of Ag, which was taken in 2017. This census is done every five years, and provides insights into agriculture on a national, state, and even county level.
Some of the highlights from the Lake County portion of the census include a decrease in the total number of farms from 349 in the 2012 census down to 302 farms for the 2017 census. Counterintuitively the number of acres in farmland in the county increased over the same period from 30,039 acres up to 30,594.
The USDA Census of Ag contains a lot of great information about all aspects of agriculture. The census will provide more detailed reports on the highlights of the county/state in regard to rankings of production in various crops and livestock categories at a later date. If you would like to check out the results from the 2017 census visit: https://www.nass.usda.gov/AgCensus/.
When the additional details are released the Lake County Farm Bureau will provide a county overview in an upcoming issue of the Diversified Farmer.

The first course will take place on Tuesday, June 18th, and Thursday, June 20th from 9:00 to 1:00. Due to the popular demand of these courses, another has been added, and this second course will take place on Tuesday, September 17th, and Thursday, September 19th. These two-day courses will be held at the Lake County Farm Bureau office located at 70 US Hwy 45 in Grayslake. The AARP Smart Driver Course teaches valuable defensive driving strategies and provides a refresher of the rules of the road. Since 1979, the course has helped more than 15 million drivers learn research-based tips to adapt their driving to compensate for physical and cognitive changes that may occur with aging. Plus, you may qualify for a multi-year automobile insurance discount by completing the course. (check with your COUNTRY Financial Representative for details) The AARP Smart Driver Course is the nation’s largest driver safety course, and is designed especially for drivers age 50 and older. By taking the AARP Smart Driver Course you will learn the current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment. In addition you will learn:
• How to minimize the effects of dangerous blind spots
• How to maintain the proper following distance behind another car
• The safest ways to change lanes and make turns at busy intersections
• Proper use of safety belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, and new technology found in today’s vehicles
• Ways to monitor your own and others’ driving skills and capabilities
• The effects of medication on driving
• The importance of eliminating distractions, such as eating, smoking, and using a cell phone
The cost of this course is $15 for AARP members, and $20 for non AARP members. If you would like to sign up to attend one of these two day courses contact Information Director Andy Blaul by phone at 847-223-6506, or via email at [email protected].

What is pollination?Pollination is a very important step in the plant life cycle. Plants cannot produce seeds unless they are pollinated. There are two different types of pollination: cross-pollination and self-pollination. Cross-pollination is where pollen is transferred between flowers on two different plants. Self-pollination is when pollination occurs within one flower or between two flowers on the same plant. There are many different kinds of pollinators. They include bees, butterflies, beetles, birds, and bats
just to name a few. All pollinators are very important this process.
How can you help pollinators?
• Grow pollinator-friendly flowers• Protect bee nests• Plant a variety of plants and flowers that bloom from spring to fall• Plant in good soil• Provide a safe and attractive habitat for pollinators
Farmer TalkAntenna(e): The moveable, sensitive feelers
on an insects head which detect odor and movement.Nectar: A sweet liquid secreted by flowers of
various plantsPollen: A fine powdery substance, often yellow, produced by
the anthers and collected by pollinators.Stamen: The male part of a flower, which produces pollen and
consists of a filament and an anther.Stigma: The female part of a flower, which receives pollen during pollination. Pollinator: Moves pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower, resulting in fertilization. Pistil: The female of a flower which consists of the stigma, style and ovary.

Wishing you a warm and wonderful Fourth of July...
and a summer filled with good times.
Fair Workers Needed Along with the warmer weather
and longer days, the fun and ex-citement of the Lake County Fair is quickly approaching. The fair will be taking place from July 24th through July 28th and provides all Lake County residents with an
outstanding summertime activity.The Lake County Farm Bureau
is looking for workers to help run our Agriculture Agventure activ-ities in the large expo building at this year’s fair.
The Agventure provides chil-
dren who attend the fair with fun interactive activities that teach them about various aspects of ag-riculture.
Working at the fair is a perfect way for high school and college age students to make some extra money during the summer, and is also an opportunity for seniors to share their experience with the youngest of fairgoers.
All workers under the age of 16 will be required to provide a worker’s permit to the Farm Bu-reau office by Friday, July 12th. The building will be open from 10am to 7pm each day. Appli-cants should be energetic, enjoy working with children, and be able to work in outdoor July tem-peratures.
If you would like to apply to work in the Ag Expo building, or if you have any questions about the available positions, please contact Information Director Andy Blaul at 847-223-6506 or by email at [email protected].
