Rep., Huron The alfalfa plant will winter kill badly if it's cut at the wrong time in the fall. In Huron County. this rest period lasts for three weeks before and three weeks after September loth in the north and three weeks before and three weeks after September 20th in the south. Serious damage can be done by cutting close to the critical date. The damage is still. significant as the cutting date moves either way in the rest period from the critical date. Why do we need a Sep- tember rest period'? An alfalfa plant uses up its root reserves as it regrows during the three weeks after cutting. During the next three weeks, the reserves are built up as the leafy top growth manufactth•es food which is carried back to the root. If a killing frost occurs three or four weeks after cutting. then the plant goes into winter in a weakened condition. Don & Kathy Geiger invite you to the opening of their new Farrowing Complex.

Thb recommendation is based on.information from previous years_ This in- formation tells us when the first killing frost can nor- mally be expected. Some years. Mother Nature will send a frost earlier or later than usual and upset 'this advice. If we cut in early September, we're guessing that the first killing frost won't come until mid- October. In faking this ac- tion. we're running contrary to the law of averages. What about taking a cutting in early OctobEtr? It will do less damage than cutting in the rest period. An October harvest coincides with the first killing frost and the plant won't deplete Itself by regrowing. However, Guelph research has shown that top growth is vital for winter survival. Winter soil temperatures 'are several degrees higher under plants with a good top. Thus we can't completely endorse an October harvest. It's a possibility if the feed is needed and a 4" to 6" stubble can be left on the field. This practice is also better suited for fields that have a good snow cover. Potash fertilizer should`be -applied by mid-August: A mix of 150 lbs. of 0-0-60 and 50 to 75 lbs. of 0-46-0 is reasonable for stands that are feeling the pressure of three cuts per year. Yes. good alfalfa -hay can replace the protein in a dry sow ration only. Because alfalfa -hay is low in energy and high in fibre makes it is uneconomical to feed to finishing pigs or nursing sows. Good alfalfa -hay analyzes about 12 to 17 percent protein, depending on the amount of- alfalfa to grass. All the protein in a dry sow ration can be replaced by a good leafy alfalfa. However, most often producers add 15 to 25 percent alfalfa -hay because of variability in quality and palatability. Note that alfalfa hay does not replace the minerals and vitamins, - so still add these at normal levels. Also the high fibre Call our shop for dates and location. Personal demonstrations can also be arranged. WE WILL SHOW YOU WHY can cause problems in a liquid manure system. Some producers find it best to feed only alfalfa hay for the af- ternoon feeding of dry sows. Often alfalfa hay makes a good addition in the feed where sows are too fat. Keep sows fit, not fat. Feed ad- ditional feed depending on the condition of the sows. Beef Information Night Kaplan Industries in Florida feeds over 20,000 head of cattle on 18 acres of feedlot.
