Dairy and poultry feeding and farm practices from OBES column
Information from the U S Department of Agriculture advises not to feed dairy cows ear corn and to grind it either with or without the cob. For pullets, provide a fair diet as egg production starts. Horses that gorge on oats benefit from chopped clover hay or whole corncobs mixed in with oats. Wheat bran with oats reduces choking risk.

Red clover may fail. hairy vetch is a good substitute on sandy soils. Germination is often better with old instead of new seed due to hard seeds. Always test seed germination before planting.
