Keeps Fanner
On Payroll
Winter is slowdown time on
m(»st crops farms, and this
often means income slows down,
too. Hut .the money needn't
Stop completely.
T^iere are cold .season proj
ects, such as wintering beef cal
ves, that can keep the crops
farmer on the payroll.
North Carolina State Univer-
.sity extension specialists cite
the caff enterprise as one of the
most widely adapted winter pro
jects available. Contrary to the
popular oitinion that bigness is

A typical wintering program
involves buying beef calves in
.Septemlber or October, keeping
theim about 200 days and selling
tliem as Stockers in April.
Calves are usually fed silage,
and some grain and protein sup
plement. Many (Tops farmers
stretch their feed supplies by
letting the cattle glean harvest
ed fields in late fall and early
winter.
Tlie NCSU specialists point
J out that there Is a ready mar-
|ket for Stockers in the spring.
Many Tar Heel stockers are ship-
' ped to other states to be finish
ed. Others go to local feeders
who -finish the animals to
slaughter weight by feeding lim
ited grain while the cattle are

Wintering calves has .several
advantages for some North Car
olina farmers. It can make prof-
Italble U.SC of winter lahot, for
one thing. It can utilize o-visting
feed, such as ffold gleanings,
that would otherwise be wa.st“d.
And the initial investment for
facilities for wintering calves Is
low compared to other livestock
(xperations.
I The aim of a sound wintering
1 program is to put one to one
and a quarter pounds of weight
' per day on the calves. Care lias
I to be taken in selecting caivc.s ^
with growth potential and ex-:
j tra precautions have lo hi' tnk- !
! en in deciding how much to pay j
for the animals. A bad buy can '■
ruin chances for makin// a p-rof- :
it.
The n/uimbor at oi#ves pur
chased should be ba.sed on the
supply of feed available. One
factor that makes the sfcxicer
program easy to plan from year
to year is that the feed is pro
duced liefore the calve.s are
bouglit.
Year in and year out over a
long period dt wintering calves,
a farmer who buys wi.sely and
manages his animals well can
e.xpect a net return of about S20
per Stocker sold. He should be
set up to take less than that In
some years. In others, the net
may be larger.
It's not a “'get rich " kind of
wintertime farming but it can
keep many farmers on the pay
roll between crop seasons.

Campaign Slogan
“Picat it clean,” could be the
I campaign slogan for North Caro-
1 lina cotton growers this season.
There is every Incentive for
I farmei^s to harvest and sell every
I pound possible.
I Last year, an estimated 25.-
;000 bales were left in fields.
I Much of it was I(jst as a result
of improper harvesting prooe-
I diires, accjorditig to Glenn Toom-
'ey, extension cotton specialist at
'North Carolina State Univer-
islty.
“We simply oan’t atford anoth-
i er loss like that in 1970," Toom-
ey said. “There Is t<x) muKdi at
stake to waste so much of, our
total prtxluction.”
The marketing outlook is the
brtghest in years. There is a na-
tionwdde campaign going on
within the industry to get farm
ers to pr(xiuoe a hitg crop and
to harvest as much of t as pos
sible.
.Supplies of high quality cotton
are down. This year’s prodiKtion
is being counted on to help pro
tect cotton’s position in the fiber
market.
Toomey explained that about
16 per cent of the 1971 produc
tion in North Carolina was lelft
in the field. “We can’t expech to
reduice this loss to zero," he
pointed out, “but we would like
to see it reduced by about 10
per cent. We should be able to
han est 91 per cent of the (Top."
This can be done, the special
ist believes, if farmers and ma
chine h.arvester operators will
pay more attention to proper
picker adjustment and operation.
A cotton production guide con
taining harvesting tips is avail
able at county extension offices.
Equipment owner manuals are
another source of he'pful infor
mation.
