Advancing The Art ~ FORAGES There is a lot known about forages in the northern plains, but little of this relates to zero tillage cropping systems. Farmers often view forages as separate from annual cropping although this does not have to be so. Generally, farmers in the northern plains recognize the benefits of forages in rotations, in particular better yields and weed control. But perennial stands are often kept longer than is needed to replenish soil with N. Annual and perennial forage crops improve many soil and weed factors and are probably an under-used tool for our region. Forages add diversity and intensity to crop rotations which benefit zero tillage more than conventional tillage systems. Most forage producers agree that annual crop yields are higher when planted after a perennial forage crop than after an annual crop. Research shows yield benefits from forages can last 9 years. Even on a farm where there are no livestock, forages could be beneficially included in zero till rotations. There is a market for the forage and the soil and nutrient benefits for the subsequent annual crops are significant. In a Manitoba study, zero till field pea yields improved when grown in an alfalfa-alfalfa-wheat-wheat-pea rotation compared to when they were grown in a wheat-pea-barley-wheat-pea rotation. The alfalfa was removed with herbicides. The year after the peas were grown, wheat yielded 500 kg/ha (7.5 bu/ac) more in the alfalfa rotation compared to the no alfalfa rotation.

104. FORAGES, An Introduction To Grassland Agriculture, 6th Edition The sixth edition of forages, Volume I, highlights plant adaptation and the complexity of forage management by integrating soil, climate, and herbivory factors http://store.blackwell-professional.com/0813804213.html

Edited by Robert F. Barnes, C. Jerry Nelson, Michael Collins, Kenneth J. Moore The sixth edition of Forages, Volume I , highlights plant adaptation and the complexity of forage management by integrating soil, climate, and herbivory factors with production goals. This exceptional sourcebook has been extensively reconfigured to address the needs of today's undergraduate students and provide a foundation for problem solving and decision making in forage management. Sidebars and study questions will aid student review and comprehension. The contributing authors, predominantly forage teachers from across the continental United States, provide broad, national coverage of key species and management practices in a framework of comparative analysis. Improvements over the last edition include: Increased coverage of plant morphology Additional material on ecological and environmental factors Greater emphasis on grassland ecology, pasture management, forage quality, forbs as components of grassland systems Economic interpretations and social constraints to point out practicality An easy-reference full-color compendium of forage species.

Home Grazing Gear Up For Grazing Contents When To Start Grazing Cool-Season Forages Sustainable Farming Connection Where farmers find and share information. When To Start Grazing Cool-Season Forages Not too early, and not too late. When is the best time to start grazing cool-season forages? "Ideally, when the plants are about 3 inches tall and the soil is dry enough to support the animals without damaging the plants," says Darrell Emmick, NRCS Grasslands Specialist. Don't wait until forage is at the ideal grazing height (about 6 inches for most grasses and clovers in New York) to get your stock out on pasture. If you do, the forage will quickly get ahead of you and lose quality, and you won't get the staggered regrowth needed to make the second round of grazing go smoothly. Don't start grazing too early either, or you risk reducing yields on subsequent grazings or even killing the stand, cautions Emmick. When temperatures reach 40 F and forages break dormancy, their carbohydrate root reserves may be dangerously low, often just enough to fuel two to three days of growth. Most of the reserves have been used up keeping the plants alive over winter. "If you cut off those first `solar collectors,' the plants may not have enough energy left to send up any more," he explains. With our usually wet springs, the soil is often too moist to support the animals when the forage is ready to graze. In that case, Emmick suggests waiting until the plants are about 6 inches tall. The thicker growth will help support the animals. Also, graze stock for short periods, and only allow them to top the stand down to 3 to 4 inches. Similarly, if forage growth gets beyond the ideal stage before you can start grazing, offer the animals larger areas for shorter periods. "They'll pick out the best and leave the rest," says Emmick.

Effects of Drought Conditions on Commonly Fed Forages W. P. Weiss, Department of Dairy Science, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster, and W. L. Shockey , Center for Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Community Development, WVU Extension Service, Preston County Corn Plants Ensiled drought-stressed corn silage is a good feed if supplemented properly. Dry matter yield and energy yield per acre will be lower than that of normal corn silage. Drought-stressed corn is usually higher in crude protein and lower in energy. Type of crude protein is also different. Normal corn silage has about 5% true protein and 3% nonprotein nitrogen on a dry matter basis (DMB). Drought-stressed corn silage may have about 5% true protein and 7% nonprotein nitrogen, DMB. This may limit the amount of added nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) the cow can use efficiently. The biggest concern is energy. You must feed more grain with drought-stressed corn silage because of its low energy value. A general rule12 parts wet drought-stressed silage plus 1 part corn grain is equal to normal corn silage. Energy content of drought-stressed corn may vary tremendously so first have it analyzed and then determine how much grain is needed. Example: A test shows that drought-stressed corn silage has an energy value of 60% total digestible nutrients (TDN). Normal corn silage has an energy value of 70% TDN. Corn grain has an energy value of 87% TDN. If your ration had 50 pounds of non-drought-stressed corn silage and the corn silage was 40% dry matter, you would be supplying 14 pounds of TDN. Drought-stressed corn silage would provide only 12 pounds of TDN. To make up the additional 2 pounds of TDN, you would need to feed 46.5 pounds of corn silage and 3.5 pounds of corn grain.

Nitrate Toxicity in Drought-Stressed Forages W. P. Weiss, Department of Dairy Science, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster, and W. L. Shockey , Center for Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Community Development, WVU Extension Service, Preston County I. Accumulation in plants Nitrate (NO ) is taken up by plants and is converted to protein by the plant cells under normal conditions. In drought, plants do not grow, protein synthesis stops, and NO accumulates. Factors affecting NO accumulation: Such species as corn, oats, and sudangrass can tend to accumulate high levels. Lower portions of the plant tend to contain higher levels of nitrate than the top parts. High rates of nitrogen fertilization increase nitrate accumulation. Rapidly growing plants tend to have low levels of nitrate. Drought stunts plant growth, causing nitrate to accumulate. Immediately after a rain, plants take up even more nitrate. Once plants begin growing rapidly (2 to 5 days), nitrate levels drop. II. Metabolism of NO

To get an answer to your own question, click here When is the best time to seed forages? (Date Created: 2004-05-12) Studies indicate that early spring seeding is the best time to seed forages, to take advantage of favorable soil moisture and to avoid high summer temperatures. Seeding can also be done in late fall, prior to freeze up, however legumes seed has significant mortality when fall seeded. What seeding rate should I use? (Date Created: 2004-05-12) Seeding rates should be from 20 to 40 seeds per square foot, from the driest areas to irrigation. Individual species have different seed densities, so rates have to be calculated for each instance. Seed densities are on page 7 of the Saskatchewan Forage Crop Production Guide 2004. How deep should I seed?
