Clarifications Emerge on Cattle Subsidy Details
Uncertainties about the new producer cattle subsidy payment are easing. Chicago market reports indicate that cattle priced at 14.25 per hundredweight or $1380 at Cedar Rapids qualify as at least A grade beef for the 50 cent subsidy, easing recordkeeping. The trader may certify slaughter within 29 days of purchase for subsidy eligibility, while 800 pound minimum and 30 days in possession remain required. The program aims to move meat directly from producers to licensed slaughterers, reducing the black market and meat shortage.

Hay Cutting Guides Boost Nutrient Content say USDA Experts
Early-cut alfalfa has 1 percent protein while late-cut alfalfa drops to 15 percent. Early-cut red clover matches alfalfa in protein. Guides advise cutting alfalfa from one tenth to one fourth bloom, red clover and alsike at half bloom, soybeans at half to three quarters, and timothy at full bloom for best palatability and nutrition. Some grasses may yield more than one cutting when harvested early.
