Feeding Tips for Stockmen in Kansas Drought
Late summer rains lift fall pasture and wheat prospects in Kansas but drought hurts feed supplies and farm income. With hay scarce and prices up, cattlemen should consider using low quality roughages with protein supplements, and substitute grain for hay when cheaper. If only 4 to 5 pounds of legume hay exist daily, cattle can digest 12 to 14 pounds of straw or crop residues, aided by cottonseed cake or dehydrated alfalfa. Grain feeding offers a cost comparison, as 22 bushels of grain provide similar nutrients to a ton of hay. substitute grain for hay when cheaper and increase grain when low quality hay remains.

Higher value crops could spur more labor machinery seed and marketing industries and provide Kansans with fresher locally grown produce at competitive prices.
