Alfalfa winterkill
Poor fall management is
usually the reason for alfalfa
winterkill, according to
Professor R.S. Fulkerson,
Department of Crop Science,
Ontario Agricultural College.
Alfalfa and other legume crops
must store sugars in their roots
for the winter. If the crops are
harvested or grazed on or near
the "critical" date, they will not
have enough food stored to enable
them to survive the winter.
Professor Fulkerson says the
critical date for alfalfa in
Southern Ontario is about mid-
September. He stresses that the
date varies from county to county
and advises farmers to check
with county agricultural offices
for the critical dates of the crop in
their areas.
"To me, the big secret of good
winter persistence is top
growth," he says. "Alfalfa should
have about one foot of top growth
to help ensure it survives the
winter,"
The top growth will help to hold
the snow which, in turn, acts as
an excellent insulator against low
soil temperature.

entries, Completing the eight
miles in 57 mins.were Ted Cowan
and Greg Cowan of Brussels.

Ask for early
feed samples
The Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food is urging
farmers who are planning to
submit samples to its Feed
Advisory Program to do so as
early as possible, H. J, Clapp, a
dairy cattle specialist with the
Ministry's Live Stock Branch,
says hay crop samples should be
sent in by the end of August and
corn silage samples should be
submitted in September.
Mr. Clapp says the reason for
the urgency is that there is
usually a glut of samples in the
fall. Last year, for example, over
20 percent of the year's samples
came in November. Under
normal circumstances, farmers
can expect the results of their
analyses within two weeks, but
with such a large number of
samples at one time the results
could take four weeks.
The dairy cattle specialist says
the best time to take a sample of
corn or hay crop silage is during
the ensiling process.In the case of
grain rations, take the sample
from various spots in the bag or
pile. A coring tool is available
from county agricultural offices
for sampling hay. Mr. Clapp
recommends that at least 25
samples be taken and then a
composite made from those
samples in order to get a
representative quantity.
