Ensure maximum yields from forage by fertilizing. Establishment fertilization Obtaining a good stand is the first step toward higher yields. A complete fertilizer that is high in phosphorus (40 kg P205 per hectare) should be banded at seeding time A little potash is required also Remember a tall application of K20 is necessary High return on your fertilizer Investment Fertilizing forage pays for itself many times over in increased forage yield and quality. improved drought resistance. healthier plants, improved winter survival PARTICIPATING L_H UNITED ELMW00D 363-2017 PORT ELGIN 832.2077 MILDMAY 367.2657 MEAFORD 538-1050 AUBURN 526-7262 CHESLEY 363.3030 OWEN SOUND 376-5110 WIARTON 534.1840 Maintenance fertilization In order to maintain vigorous, high yielding stands of forages, adequate fertility is necessary. Phosphate and potash levels are the key nutrients for stands with over. 50% legumes Yields of 10 tonne per hectare and over may require as much as 90 kg of phosphorus and 210 kg of potassium Phosphate can be applied at any time Potash can be applied alter the first cut and the balance in late August or early Sep- tember If nitrogen is needed it should be applied in the spring up to 50 kg per hectare Any additional required nitrogen can be applied up to a maximum of 50 kg N per application, after each cut.

Distinguished by its bright yellow colour, the line includes combine skid shoe and moldboard plow covers. The combine skid shoes are made of 1/4" thick polymer shaped to fit and attached with 1/4" - 20 bolts or 3/16" steel pop rivets, which are included in the kit. The plastic will not stick to soil. The moldboard plow covers mean that 10 to 25 per cent less power is needed to pull the plow. Less friction gives straight, uniform rows with better scouring and lighter draft. The kit in- cludes longer bolts and a spacer for the point and shin. Poly Last, a yellow polymer devel- oped six years ago for the agri-business industry, is manufactured by Poly Tech industries of Monticello, Georgia.
