Seed Sunflowers Prove Economical Dairy Feed in Alberta
W. P. Hoff, a prominent dairy farmer near Edmonton, reports that sunflowers are the most economical silage feed for dairy cattle in Central Alberta. He harvested twenty tons per acre from twenty seven acres, with potential yields of twenty five to thirty tons per acre under better moisture. Early seeding reduces frost risk and increases dry matter content, improving forage value. Hoff notes optimal seeding rate eight pounds per acre and two and a half foot row spacing, with minimal cultivation and improved silo handling after allowing cut sunflowers to wilt in the field before ensiling.
