GI Farm Trainees Are Given
Winter Grazing Suggestions
By F. H. Brown, Jr., Asst. Teacher!
Realizing that winter grazing is.
one oi the most important parts
of their feed production program,
the trainees were given a suggested
outline for establishing winter
pastures. Experiment station rec
ommendations and individual
demonstrations were the basis for
the suggested outline. When cer
tain important points in plant
growth and management are fol
lowed. grazing is possible through
a great part of the fall, winter,
and spring months. To promote'
more and better winter grazing'
crops on GI farms the following
suggested outline was made:
(1) Select a good piece of land
conveniently located to the u?m|
or shelter. Drainage, fertility, and
available water for livestock
should be given consideration in
making this selection. Well
drained areas are preferred over
areas which become water-logged
or areas where water stands for
any length of time during rainy
weather.
(2) Prepare the land 2 or 3
weeks before the winter grazing
crop is to be seeded, which would
be anytime after August 1. Apply
lime when needed or where soil
,test shows low lime content. Lime
is needed for all legume crops, and
should be applied, if needed, before
land preparation. Prepare the
land in such a way as to leave most
of the stubble or litter in the sur
face soil. Disking is one of the
best methods to perform this op
eration.
(3) Just before planting apply
broadcast or with drill 400-G00
pounds of 6-8-^pbr other high ana-|
lysis fertilizer per acre. Tnisi
should be uniformly distributed.
(4) Plant with a grain drill if
possible, but in case of broad-'
casting, be sure to sow evenly andj
cover uniformly. Grain should
be covered approximately 1 *2 to
2 inches deep. Crimson clover
and rye grass should bo sown
separately and covered lightly, not
over 1-2 inch.
(5) Roll the land alter seeding,
with a cultipacker or roller. It!
neither is available, use a float or
boarder. This step is important
as it firms the soil about the seed
and makes i>ossible early germin
ation.
(6) As soon as plants are
up and have made some growth,!
top dress with 100-200 pounds ot'j
nitrate of soda or its equivalent. |
Depending upon the date of seed-!
ling and moisture this should be
around November 1. Apply ni
trogen material uniformly and
when plants are dry.
(7) Qp not begin grazing until
plants have become established
and have made 3 1-2 inches or
more of growth.
(8) In late February or March,i
depending on the growth and
amount of grazing, an additional
top dressing of 100 pounds of ni
trate of soda or its equilvalent,
applied uniformly, will prove to
be profitable. Livestock should
not be grazed immediately follow
ing the nitrogen application.
(9) The following three mix
tures, rates, and dates of seeding
were suggested:
(A) Rye grass, 30 pounds
