Mathews, of VPI‘s agronomy staff, told the farmers that the severe drouth this year re-emphasizes the need for developing a year-round feed pasture during the grazing sea-, son and furnish high quality hay and silage for the winter feeding period.
Specifically, his suggestions were: Topdress alfalfa, pasture and hay crops during the rest of this fall, winter or early spring; and topdress small grains intended for silage, hay or grain with nitrogen for early spring, grazing. Use cover crops for grazing—boost the carrying capacity by applying 30 to 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre in January or February.
Seed winter oats for grazing, silage, hay or grain as soon after February 1 as the land can be prepared. Overseed poor .stands or lost stands of small grain with winter or spring oats. .Seed spring oats for silage hay or grain; and seed sweet sudart grass for mid-summer grazing, silage or hay.
