Dr. Jack Winch told more than 17:i farmers attending the Stored Forage Day at the Ontario Agriculture College recently. However. Dr. 'Winch pointed ' out, forage crops harvested in ilia old laborious ways do nut have a place in today's intensive cropping systems. Crops and crop product- methods that result in high yields nor acre of a high quality product. as well as easily mechani- ed low lahor, preservation and feeding systems, are in demand. An important and often over- looked fact is that corn, and on improved production syStem • tor perennial forages are complem- entary to one another on the basis of suplying the energy and protein necessary for beef .and • dairy rations,. Both crops are needed ,oil the farm, `Used together, corn and forages can supply all the. protein and energy • remlirements for livestock, There are two factors • which determine the placet and average of forages 011 any one farM, First and most important, is the yield of dry matter, and second is the scale of operation. ill locations where S011 and climate conditions .do. not favor high yields of . corn, perennial forages should command the 11001' portion • of form acrrea ito. When. making yield comparisons however, it is important to re- member two things, Dr, 7inell. warns. Yield of dry matter per ;1cri-, from loth crops is the only valid comparison, Also, keep in. 10111(1 that comparisons : must be, made on a "total seasonal basis . that is, all the cuttings of forage. For example, a 144on per acre yield of 35 percent dry matter corn silage is equal to 51/2 tons of S5 percent dry matter hay. Researolt studies have shown that unless at least 450 tons of corn silage are stored each year, it would not be profitable to invest in the harvesting, storing and handling Of silage.
