By PAT LYNCH,
Soils and Crops
Specialist
This past two weeks we
measured soybean har-
vesting losses in five fields in
Perth and Huron counties.
Four of these fields were
harvested by combines
equipped with soybean
headers. The fifth field was
harvested using a con-
ventional grain header.
The grain header was
leaving three or four bushels
of soybeans in the field. This
was two more bushels/acre
than the soybean headers
were leaving. These extra
beans were still in the pod.
The conventional header
could not cut low enough.
In terms of extra profit,
this amounts to about
$15 acre. It only takes a few
minutes to calculate harvest
loss. If you do it this fall
before ploughing, it will give
you an idea how much you
are losing.
The technique is simple.
You count the number of
unharvested beans in 10
square feet. The area
counted must be the length of
the soybean header. The
width is that dimension that
will give total area of 10
square feet. That means for
a 12 ft. header, the area
measured is 12 feet by 10
inches. For a 14 foot header,
the area will be 14 feet by 8.6
inches. It takes 40 to 45
beans 10 sq. ft. to equal 1
bushel per acre. If your total
harvest losses are one to two
bushels, there is probably
nothing you can do. Harvest
losses of two to four bushels
are excessive and you should
find out why.
Avoid Protein Loss
Rumen bacteria convert
some of the feed protein into
ammonia. But when too
much ammonia is produced,
some is wasted. These
bacteria or "bugs" create an
excess of ammonia when a
cow is fed a ration that
contains more than 12 or 13
"Time ran out for some
processing tomato growers,
most, however, made it
across the line!" That
comment was made by
vegetable growers'
marketing board chairman,
Harry Dougall,
"Mother nature worked
against some of them and, as
a result, they did not make
their 20 tons to the acre
goal," he added,
Virtually all of the tomato
processors have closed their
to ammonia in the rumen,
when because of the higher
protein ration needed, there
is already a surplus of
ammonia. Urea can be in-
cluded later when the cow
can be fed a ration that
contains 12-13 percent crude
protein.
The concentrate used,
however, should contain a
maximum of 20 lbs. urea/ton.
An amount in excess of 1
percent urea in the ration
could create palatability
problems or even nitrate
poisoning. Cows, also should
be acclimatized to urea over
a three week period. If urea
is added to corn silage to
increase the crude protein,
care should be exercised in
the feeding of urea in the
concentrate.

percent crude protein. This
excess ammonia overflows
the rumen and is lost in the
cow's urine.
Average or above average
cows need a complete ration
that contains 14-16 percent
crude protein in the early
stages of lactation. But
feeding that amount of crude
protein causes an over
supply of ammonia in the
rumen and wastes some feed
protein.
It is recommended that
dairy farmers not feed non
protein nitrogen (NPN) such
as urea to dairy cows during
the first 10-14 weeks of their
lactation. Urea is converted
doors for another year.
"Stacked up to the last two
years, which were con-
sidered excellent, I'd have to
describe the 1979 tomato
crop as average. The crop
from Windsor to Picton was
two weeks behind because of
the late spring," explained
the Huron county grower.
Grower problems were
compounded in the harvest
months because of sky-
rocketing interest rates.
Carrying an inventory of
extra tomatoes was con-
sidered uneconomical by
most processors, Therefore,
some farmers were faced
with the dilemma of growing
a fair- sized crop but not
being able to deliver it on
time.
"When the books are
added up-, this year's
processing tomato crop will
go down as slightly below the
1978 record crop which had a
farm gate value of
$35,000,000.00," predicted
Dougall.
"As the season goes, so
goes the frame of mind of the
growers and I look forward
to hearing their viewpoints
at the up-coming round of
county meetings," he con-
cluded.
