'We're guessing that the ,first

October, harvest coincides
with the first killing frost and

Guelph research has shown
that top growth is vital for
winter survival . Winter soil.
temperatures are several
degrees higher under plants
witha good top. Thus we
can't completely endorse an
October- harvest. It's a pos-
4ibility if the feed is needed
and a'4 t6 6'. stubble can be
left on the field, This practice
is also better suited for fields
that have a good snow cover.
