The Ontario countryside is
humming with harvest
activity, but already, some
farmers are planting forage
crops for next year.
Summer seedings of
alfalfa or legume mixtures
require the same preparation
-.--its spring planting, says Prof,
R. S. Fulkerson, Department
of Crop Science, University
of Guelph. Although spring
seedings of new hay or
pasture meadows are
superior to those seeded in
summer, circumstances
sometimes dictate that
summer seedings be made.
In such cases, an early
seeding date is important to
establish the crop.
"Sow early, at least a
month before the normal
seeding date for winter
sufficient leafy growth and
roots to store food for
winter."
A well-worked, firm seed-
bed is essential for good
germination. To achieve
weed control, summer
fallowing is recommended a
few weeks before seeding.
When planting forage
crops in summer, a
companion oat or barley crop
should never be used. Lack
of moisture often means that
the hardier, fast-growing
grains stifle the forage crop.
"Never cut or graze
summer seedings the same
year," warns Prof. Fulker-
son. "At least 0.3 m (1 foot)
insulation from low tempera-
tures during winter. This
encourages persistent stands
and high yields in following
years,"
To prevent winterkill of
established forage stands,
the farmer must not allow
cutting or grazing in those
fields after the critical fall
harvest date in his area. '

tural representatives.
