Farmer Weighs Forage Options After Winter Killed Legumes
Green County farmers face a hay and pasture shortage as winter kills hit alfalfa and clover. Myron E. Jeglum suggests quick growing hay crops this summer and substitutes such as oats with sudan grass, oats with rape, or oats peas and rape. Seed costs range from seven to eighteen cents per pound for selected mixes. Sudan grass and millet blends yield good hay and may suit silos. Prussic acid risk requires grazing delay until plants reach two to three feet. Sweet clover offers spring to early summer forage, oats yield one to three tons per acre, peas and oats mix well on fertile soils. Soybeans in rows outperform mixes. consider one and a half bushels peas and oats per acre.
