needed. Select fields that have been
down for a few years as your first
choice. In some parts of the province
there are fields that have not been
cropped or pastured for a number of
years. Investigate the possibility of
utilizing some of these for extra
forage. There will be a cost for
fencing. but that will need to be
balanced against the value of the
extra pasture that you will achieve.
Consider harvesting cereal crops
as forage rather than grain. These
crops make excellent forage and
greatly increase the amount of feed
that is realized from the crop.
Cereals are most successfully
harvested as baleage or silage at or
before the kernel reaches the soft
dough stage and while the leaves are
• still green.
Early harvested cereal fields can
be re -seeded to a cereal to provide
forage in about six weeks time
(seeding should be done by mid-
August and requires sufficient soil
moisture to germinate and grow the
new plants). Oats work well for this
but barley will also produce good late
season forage. Broadcast the seed
and work lightly to get good seed to
soil contact.
Stubble turnips are another
alternative for early August seeding
into a hay or cereal stubble. Stubble
turnips will produce excellent quality
grazing for the fall period. Livestock
will graze both the tops and the
tubers of the turnips.
There are a number of ways to add
to or stretch your forage supply for
the coming year so that the need to
sell animals due to lack of feed can
be avoided. Look at all the
opportunities that are available to
you and utilize the one that will best
fit your operation.°
