Farm Topics: oats as dairy ration substitute and more in Iowa
An Iowa State College extension dairyman notes plentiful oats this year may replace corn in dairy rations at lower cost. Iowa produced over 36 percent of the nation’s Kentucky bluegrass seed with a record crop of 19 million pounds cured seed. An ISU animal husbandry specialist says high quality bulky roughage in sow gestation can cut costs by up to one third. Forage seeds may sell lower this spring, with most except bromegrass available at reduced prices. To prevent range paralysis in poultry, isolate young birds from old. Iowa land values rose about $10 per acre in 1955. January or February is good to order strawberry plants for spring beds.
