Food & FamilyA Hearty Meal After a Hard Day’s Work

Posted on by

Planting will soon be getting underway, and after a long day’s work in the field, a hearty meal is just the fix. Here is a recipe for Pork Chop and Stuffing Casserole. The combination of tender pork chops and vegetables makes this a great suppertime option on a brisk spring evening!

Pork Chop and Stuffing Casserole

1 box stuffing mix
1-1/2 c. milk
3 T. flour
1 c. shredded cheese
1 tsp. oil
2 lbs. boneless pork sirloin chops
2 c. broccoli florets
1 c. sliced mushrooms
1 can Italian diced tomatoes
1 tsp. dried oregano leaves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare stuffing mix as directed on the box and set aside.

Beat milk and flour together in a large microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes stirring after 2 minutes. Add cheese, vegetables and seasoning and mix well.

Brown pork in hot oil in an oven-safe nonstick skillet on both sides and cover with vegetables.

Top with stuffing and bake for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

From the FieldLatham Soon to Have New Agrisure Traits

Posted on by

One critical advantage of being an independent seed company is that we can secure almost any trait for our customers from a variety of technology providers. And that’s just what we’re doing with Agrisure® 3000GT and Agrisure Viptera™ seed technologies.

These two technologies will soon be in Latham’s lineup, and each offers unique characteristics. The Agrisure 3000GT trait stack protects against corn borer and corn rootworm, while tolerating glyphosate and Ignite® herbicides. Syngenta studies show the Agrisure Viptera trait will provide added efficacy on a broad spectrum of corn pests including corn earworm, western bean cutworm, black cutworm, fall armyworm and common stalk borer.

Latham will have products containing approved Agrisure traits competitively priced. You’ll get above- and below-ground pest protection plus state-of-the-art weed control under glyphosate and Ignite applications.

Agrisure 3000GT and Agrisure GT/CB/LL plus Agrisure Viptera stack technology are not currently approved for sale or use in the U.S. are not being offered or promoted for sale. These products will not be available for sale until all necessary regulatory approvals and authorizations have been granted.
