By Rod Stork, Acting Agricultural Representative BEWARE OF SILO GAS: The late season has meant that many people are putting corn silage into the silo much later than normal. It also means danger of silo gas, in and around, the tower silos. There have been many enquiries this fall regarding silo gas and the dangerous problems that can arise. Silo gas or nitrogen dioxide is a deadly gas that is produced during the initial period of the ensiling process. The greatest danger period is for up to three weeks after filling the silo. Any weather conditions, cultural practices or silage additives can increase the dissolved nitrate content of the plant. Drought conditions, nitrogen fertilizer overdose, and soils containing high organic matter can lead to higher nitrate levels. Here are some things you should do in and around your silo: 1) Post a warning sign in obvious place near the silo. 2) Ventilate the feed room in case silo gas spills out the silo doors ana down the chute. 3) During silo filling operations, don't go into the silo. 4) If, after filling, you must go into the silo do so as soon as the last load is in and keep the blower running. 5) When opening a silo door in the chute, move up the chute, not down, as silo gas is heavier than air. 6) If you must go into a silo after filling, be sure to have someone around with you in case an accident happens. SAFETY A MUST AT HARVEST: The late growing season has meant that harvest of corn, soybeans and other crops has been delayed and there are still a lot of acres of crop to do. This means farmers will be working harder, longer and faster to get the work done. This is when accidents will happen as people get a little careless. Harvesting and grain handling handling equipment is some of the most dangerous equipment that a farmer handles during the season. Wet field conditions, colder temperatures, mud build-up on equipment and many other factors can lead to more problems. Remember to make certain that all the proper guards and shields are kept on PTO shafts, augers and other movable parts. If the combine or harvester becomes plugged up, make sure the power take-off is disengaged before trying to clean out the machine. When getting on and off equipment, take care that you don't slip. Do not get on or off moving equipment. At this time of year extra clothing is usually required. Make certain that this clothing is not loose fitting or has parts of cloth hanging down. Keep your feet, hands and legs away from moving parts at all times. The largest cause of farm accidents is "CARELESSNESS" on the part of the machine operator or people working around equipment. Remember, "Be Alert, Be Safe and Be Careful" during this busy harvest season and at all times during the year. FEED ANALYSIS SUMMARIES: In a recent column, we pointed out the advantage of having your homegrown feeds analyzed for nutrient content. From this, you will be able to develop well balanced rations for your livestock. There are many charts available that show the average nutrient contents for feed. It should be pointed out that in most cases these charts do not take into account regional differences that show up on nutrient content. An example of this is results that we have received for hay samples analyzed at the Guelph lab between June 1st and August 31st this year. For instance, in southwestern southwestern Ontario first-cut legume hay had an average crude protein content of 16.86 percent while in the east central area, the average was 14.1 percent and the provincial average was 15.7 percent. For 2nd-cut hay the results were switched with the average crude protein in east central Ontario at 17.49 percent while in the southwest it was 16.56 percent and the provincial average was 17.34 percent, The same kinds of variations can be seen in hay crop silage as well. All we want to emphasize is that there can be variations in quality from area to area and indeed from farm to farm, Feed testing and ration formulation is the best way for you to develop your livestock feeding program that will give you the best production results and at the best price.
