Should look at costs Changing trend in pasture use During•the past 10 to 12 years, the number of silos and confined feedlots for both beef and dairy operations has increased in Ontario. "A great deal of progress has been made in these areas. But in view of the rising feed prod- uction costs, producers should take a look at the lower costs involved in pasture production," says Professor J.E. Winch, of the Ontario Agricultural Coll- ege's Crop Science Depart- ment. "Properly managed past- ures can and should play a role in beef and dairy operations in Ontario." In the past decade, the number of seeded pastures has decreas ed greatly, although they still make up 22 per cent of the total improved farm land. As the demands increase for land to produce cash crops, the trend will change away from seeded pasture acreages to improved roughland pastures. These roughland pastures, or so-called "marginal" land, are generally in low productivity, Professor Winch says. But methods have been improved which may result in a 9 to 12 fold increase in the carrying capacity of these areas. Rough - land renovation programs, which include weed control, fertilization and seeding with grass -legume mixtures, form the basis for improvement. The importance of legumes in any program cannot be over- emphasized. Legumes provide midsummer pastures and prod- uce their own nitrogen, reducing fertilizer costs. Where long- term pastures are required, on imperfectly drained land or where rocks and topography make tillage extremely diffic- ult, bird's -foot trefoil is the key pasture legume. It is long-lived, doesn't cause bloat and, where soil is deep, is the only legume that should be used. The use of grass -legume mixt- ures in a renovation program is also important in extending the grazing season earlier than mid- May and later than August. Bromegrass, reed canary and, in some areas, orchard grass, will produce good stands of early spring pastures. Bird 's -foot trefoil generally doesn 't begin to grow until some time after early May, so little product- ion can be expected during the first two weeks of that month. "Extending the season into the fall months involves leaving a pasture free of grazing during the summer. Again, trefoil is the best species to use this way. The leaves will remain quite green and quality is adequate for animals until the snow becomes too deep for grazing. Reed canary and tall fescue are also showing some promise as grass species for late pasture," the specialist says. Rising feed costs, profitabil- ity of cash cropping, unpredic- table beef markets and higher energy costs are forcing a second look at pastures. Professor Winch concludes that the key to cont- inued use of pasture appears to be its low cost production, in comparison to relatively newer feed crops.
