4 The Canadian Statesmaa, Bowmnanville, October il. 1978 Section Two By Kod Stork, Assoc. Agricultural IRepresentative Prevent Alfalfa Winterkill In one of our news columns at the end of August, we emphasized to farmers that they flot eut their hay crops during the month of September, so as to allow the legme, especially alfaîf a, to b~dufood reserves to carry through the winter. Since that time, we have had a large amount of moisture and reasonably good growing conditions and many hayfields that are high in alfaîf a have excellent growth on them. We have had a number of calîs from farmers wondering. whether or not they should go in and take another eut of hay off' these fields? Cutting alfaîf a now wil reduce yields next spring and also increase the chances of alfalfa winterkill during the upcoming wiater months. The major concern among farmers at the present time is whether or not the growth that is present will cause smothe ring during the winter? Farmers shouldn't be concerned about smothering, because after the first frost, the leaves of the plants will drop off and the stems wil stay upright. At this time of year, the plant is storing sugars in the roots to help it survive during the winter months and give it a good start in the spring. If the stand is eut now, the plant will' use these sugars to begin new top growth this f ail and, therefore, go into the winter ia weakened condition. If you leave the crop and let the frost take off the leaves, there wil be enough height ia stem to trap snow for insulation. Through research funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, crop scientists at the University of Guelph have found that leaving tops is the best prevention against winterkill. The stiff stalk act,ý as a snow fence to keep the crown and the roots warm. Fifteen to twenty centimeters of snow wiii keep the soil temperature about 4 degrees C. warmer than a coverning of only 5 cm. If you feel that you have excessive topgrowth, then we would advise that you only clip the tops of the plants, but this is as far as we would go, as far as your aifalfa is concerned. Beef Finlshing Computer Program Now Availabie A new beef finishing and beef ration formulation program is now available for Ontario beef producers. It is designed to give the beef feedlot operator a feeding management program, whieh will retura the most money James Insurance Agency Limited 24 King St. E. Bowmanviî le For alyour insurance needs Doug James at 623-4406 after expenses for feediot eattle. The Program is structured after a researcb model developed at the Agriculture Research Station la Lethbridge, Aberta. A Program is preseatly under- going f ield tests and we want to take this opportunity to poit out to beef feediot operators la the area that tbey ena avail themselves of the services of tbi's beef fiaisbiag program by contacting our office. Tbe Program is designed specifically for feediot finishiag cattie, for slaugbter at Ai and A2 Grades. The Program attempts to answer such questions facing the feediot operator as: 1. What is thebest rate of gain? 2. What rations to feed, given the rate of gain and available feeds? 3. The selling weight and selling ,date? 4. How many eattle to feed? and 5. What are the financial returas to feeder purebase, feed cost, variable cost and overhead? Based on information submitted on input form, tbe beef fiaishing Program will reeommend a rateof gain for up to 4 feediag phases, rations for eaeh of these phases, the selling weigbt of cattie and the selling date. Ia addition, a minerai mixed analysis, a grain mix and an analysis of requirements may be obtained either for the operator or for tbe use of the extension' agent in verifying tbe validity of the rations in eacb situation . Also, a financial analysis sbowing details of returns and expenses together witb a break-evea table can be obtained from the program. As ahl feediot operators know, the cost of putting la replacement cattie this faîl is going to be exceptionally igh.- The information provided by tbe beef fiisbing computer- ized model could belp you la determiaiag your costs and overaîl feeding program for your operation. For further information on this service, you can contact the agricul- tural office la Bowmanville. Feed Analysis Summary 1977-1978 A good maay farmers bave taken the opportunity during the summer to bave their baled bay and baylage analyzed at the feed analysis lab at the University of Guelpb. As we are getting lato the corn silage barvest season, a number of farmers will also be taking feed analysis on corn silage. We reeently received a summary of the feed analysis work done at tbe feed mla Guelph for the period of June 1, 1977 to May 31, 1978. A total of -6,152 samples were analyzed at the lab during that lime period with over 4,100 samnples reeeiviflg multi-element analysis.

We would like to point out some of tbe bigblights of the sumamary and you dana thea use these figures as a guide ifE you have not done any feed ( analysis, or it may encourage t you to take feed analysis on ( your roughage feeds to t determine their nutrient content. The summary that, was received listed tbe nutrient levels on a dry matter basis. A total of 1,480 samples of first-cut, mixed bay was received. Tbe average proteia for the samples was 13.58 with a dry matter perceatage of 87.21. A total of 88 first-cut legume hay samples tbat is, hay that is more than 75 per' cent legume were analyzed at the lab, witb a crude protein percentage of 17.49 and a dry matter perceatage of' 84.46. Two bundred and forty-six second-eut bay samples were submitted for analysis witb an average erude protein of 18.5 per cent and an average dry matter perceatage of 85.95. Seven bundred aad eigbty- sevea mixed bay crop silage samples were submitted to the lab with an average erude protein of 16.36 per cent and an average dry matter of 49.68 per cent. 1,081 corn silage samples were submitted witb an average of 8.63 per cent crude protein and, 39.13 dry matter. A total of 153 higb moisture grain corn samples were submitted witb an average crude protein of 10.59 per cent and a dry matter of 71.82 per! cent. We could go on and point out many other figures for different types of feed, however, I tbiak tbe tbing we want to empbasize is tbat feed analysis, plays a very important part la your ration formulation on your farm. If you are satisfied witb using tbese average figures, feeling tbat your feed is at least average or better, then, you sbouldn't be eoaceraed about feed analysis, bowever, if you feel your feed is only average or in maay cases may be less than these average figures, then, we would strongly urge you to plan on taking feed samples before we get into the winter montbs. Many cattie, mneluding both dairy and beef are now eoming off pasture, and will be soon into winter feeding programs. It is for this reason, that we strongly urge you to plan on taking feed samples and getting tbe results back as soon as possible, so that you ena develop a very effective and economicalration for youfr livestock this wiater.
