leaning silos
"As silos become larger,
they can present a structural
problem by leaning or
tilting;” says J. K. Weeden,
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
agricultural , engineer" for
Wellington County.
"When silos were smaller
there were fewer problems
with "tilting. With taller. tower
silos parts of the foundation
oc asionally settle more than,
other parts, causing
dangerous -tilting and
sometimes collapse," he
says.
Now silos tower more than
100 feet, and equal
e distribution of pressure on the
foundation is critical,
6 Unequal distribution . of
I silage blown into the silo can
result in an off centre load
r which canload to silo collapse
or leaning.
1 "Wheel the silage is blown
into the silo a cone of heavy
8 material forms near the
e center. This cone-is-oTteri-at
an angle and can shift,
I causing strain on. one side of
the structure. This non-
uniform distribution causes
uneven settlement in --the
foundation clay and, unless
the tilting is corrected, the
condition will increase with
time," Weeden notes.

Huron formers, 'warned
to watch cow nutrition
With today's high cost o
protein supplement, dairy
producers must be concerned
about feeding a nutritionally
sound ration year round,
says Huron's assistant ag.
rep. Dennis Martin.
Because your cows may be
going on pasture is no reason
to assume dairy nutrient
requirements Will be met.
Within a month the dry
matter of spring grass can
drip from 68 percent T.D.N
and 15 percent protein to 50
percent T.D.N, (Energy) and
pe'r'cent protein, Quality ,of
pasture can change greatly
from one field to another
depending on maturity and
amount of legumes present.
In: May and June a grain
mix containing 14 percent
protein should be adequate,
but during summer and fall
when nutrient values drop in
pasture a grain'mix of at (east
10 percent protein is required.
A one to one commercial
mineral mix should be suf-
ficient, but you must keep in
mind pliasptibetic and

minerals most often lacking
