Winterkill of alfalfa in northern climates discussed

The article explains how drainlike soil, deep seedbeds, weeds, insects, diseases, and pests heighten alfalfa’s risk of winterkill. It details how alternating freezing and thawing lifts and damages roots, how extreme cold especially harms dry open and late seedings, and notes that strong fall growth usually protects fields. Winter protection helps but cannot prevent severe losses when conditions are harsh, and late cuts or post September 1 pasturing are discouraged.

The document lists eight benefits of silage silage storage, noting higher retention of feed, longer storage without spoilage, and greater profits.

Failure in Raising Calves and Scouring Causes

Calves often fail due to oval-feeding which leads to scouring. When scouring occurs milk should be reduced and in severe cases no milk given until the trouble ceases.
