Even the short-term T-note yields surged in the wake of the October 29 rate announcement. In two days, bond funds lost substantial net asset value; iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond coughed up 1.5%, equivalent to a 750-point drop in the Dow Jones industrial average.

Frost seeding is an inexpensive and easy way to rejuvenate overgrazed or weather-damaged livestock pastures and hayfields without tilling or disturbing already established grasses and legumes.
