The location will be at the farm of Neil Raines, RR5, Sunderland, approximately one mile east of Saintfield. ™ A change in the program this year is that the evening will start with a beef barbeque at 6:30 p.m. Following the barbeque, the program will be similar to former years with a type demonstration, judging competition, and variety program of interest to all age groups. Due to the fact that food must be obtained for the barbeque, it will be necessary for those attending to purchase their tickets in advance. Tickets are available from Milk Committee members, Holstein Club directors, and at the Agricultural Office in Uxbridge. CORN STABILIZATION PROGRAM . Corn growers, who enrolled in 1977-78 Stabilization Program, will soon be receiving application forms, and information regarding the Corn Stabilization Program for the 1978,1979, and 1980 crop years. These will be mailed direct from the Toronto Office in the latter half of June. Producers, who did not enroll for the 1977 year and wish to enroll for the next three years, may obtain application forms from their local Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food Office. The Ontario Stabilization Act provides for an additional five per cent price protection above the amount normally provided by the Federal Stabilization Board to a maximum of 95 per cent of the past five-year average price as adjusted for cash costs. Each commodity plan is designed to be self-sustaining, with the participating farmers contributing one-third of the amount required, and the Ontario Government contributing the other two-thirds. In 1978, the enrolment fee is 2 cents per bushel for each bushel applied for. In addition, in 1978, a deposit is required amounting to 1 cent per bushel for each bushel applied for in 1978 to be credited to the third year of the plan. In 1979, the enrolment fee is 2 cents per bushel for each bushel applied for in 1979. In 1980, the enrolment fee is 2 cents per bushel for each bushel applied for in 1980 minus the amount deposited with the Commision in 1978. The Ontario Government is paying all administrative costs. The final application and registration date for this program is August 1st, 1978. Further information is available from your local Ministry of Agriculture and Food Office. FEEDING DAIRY CATTLE ON PASTURE More dairymen have been balancing their milk cow rations using home-grown forages, stored on the farm. At this time of year, many lactating cows still are put on pasture for summer feeding. Since dairy cattle require the same nutrients all yeaf, it is important to maintain a balanced ration while cows are on grass. Maintaining pasture quality is essential. Early pasture is the best, when the grass is actively growing and is most digestible. Pastures at this stage will often have 15 percent or more protein on a dry matter basis. A grain mix of 14 percent protein should adequately compliment this qulaity grass. Pasture quality changes drastically from mid- June on. Protein levels can drop from 15 percent to 7 percent. As the plant matures, the fibre content increases and vitamin and mineral levels decrease. Magnesium oxide and a commerical 1:1 mineral should be included in the grain ration. It is also wise to provide salt and mineral free-choice for those low producers, who do not consume enough grain mix to fill their mineral requirements. A common problem associated with pasture feed- ing is a severe drop in butter-fat test. To compensate for the low fibre content of lush pasture, it is recommended that at least 5 lbs. (2.3 kgs.) of long stemmed dry hay be available to each milk cow. Keeping the cows in the barn or barnyard may be necessary for part of the day to get them to consume this much hay. Another factor in pasture feeding is the animal's ability to eat enough pasture. A cow will eat up to 90 kgs. (200 lbs.) per day of lush pasture, and may fill up to the point of refusing the grain mixture. Cows should be introduced to lush pasture gradually in the spring. In July and August when the feeding value of pasture goes down, the grain mix should be increased to 16 percent protein and some supplemental forage, such as corn silage or haylage, should be fed. Dairymen must act when pasture quality changes, not when production begins to slump. As well as considering the effect on milk production from feed changes in the summer, dairymen should consider the effect of high temperatures, and the bright sun on diary cows on pasture. When the temperature is over 26 degrees C. and shade is note available on the pasture, the cows should be brought into the barn in early afternoon. Managing the feeding requirements of dairy cows on pasture, necessitates close monitoring of pasture conditions, in order to make any necessary changes before slumps in milk production occur.
