Corn Silage " Harvesting corn silage 'at its peak makes good sense.

At this stage, the plant has reached its • maximum dry weight. Harvesting before this time reduces total dry yield and total digestible energy 'per acre.

This year growers were expecting to regain markets in Europe which were disrupted last' year, because most of the province's crop went to the United States because. of a crop failure there. Earlier this year, three major blueberry processing companies visited six European , countries seeking to restore the balance of exports . between EurOpan, 'and U.S., markets. In 1975, two. years '• after marketing ntissions.: to Europe began, five million pounds 'valued at $2.5 Unit* were sold to European producers. Last year European markets returned only $960,000 out of a total record farm value of $5 million. Export sales are responsible for the growth of Nova Scotia's blueberry industry since the late19.50's when it was regarded as a supplement to-the Maine Crop. ' Producers say European, buyers were attracted to • the Nova Scotia berries because of their higher sugar content, 12 per cent 'as compared with nine per cent for European berries. cessed products. Apple juice, for instance, is in very short supply.. Dr. Anderson says processors can be expected , to buy more than 40 per cent of this year's Canadian crop. Last year, Canadian growers had above-average exports of apples; largely , because of a small crop in - Europe. ' This year's European crop is larger', but there ' triay be mere' ased exports to Middle Eastern countries..
