you can tell relatively cost effective.
Each wedding is so very special
and comes with its own personal
budget. Some well planned forethought
'in mapping out focal points and flow
of guests, requirements, colour
scheme and a little experimentation
with the decorations you intend to use
will always lead to a successful event
personalized for your occasion. My
very best wishes to Mike and Sherry
and all those being married in 1999!0

Leave a little leaf
By Marlene Werry
OMAFRA Beef Specialist
To conserve pasture production,
producers need to "leave a little leaf'.
The first bite doesn't hurt but all the
rest do, in pasture production.
Pasture is a perennial crop, and
producers must manage the root
system. Joan McKinley, OMAFRA

producers to keep these principles in
mind when managing pastures,
especially in drier copditions.
Grazing management must be
adjusted quickly to dry conditions
but species and plant health will also
have a major impact on production.
Plants that are healthy because of
good soil fertility programs and good
rest periods, which preserve root
reserves, will be ready to respond
quickly once the rains return. Natural
fertility or applications of phosphorus
and potash will help keep the root
. systems healthy. Healthy plants will
provide a more complete canopy
which will reduce soil evaporation
and guard against the soil drying out.
Subdividing fields will help you
manage the pastures better. Grazing
management is really "harvest
management". Cattle tramp on. lie on
and foul too.much material. In a
continuous graze, 70 per cent of
forage is wasted. In a rotational
system this is reduced to 45 per cent
and in a strip grazing system, only 30
per cent of the material is wasted.0
