Danger in Cornfields Threatens Cattle This Winter
Iowa State College extension veterinarian Dr. John Herrick warns cattlemen that danger rises in cornfields and second growth sorghum and sudangrass from now until snow. Poor grazing and rapid ingestion cause rumen problems and severe distress. Frosted stalks bring prussic acid poisoning, risking rapid death. nitrate poisoning also occurs in drought-revived stalks.

Adequate Water Supply Key for Irrigation Needs
Iowa State College extension engineer Ted Willrich notes fruit crops such as grapes raspberries and fruit trees use about 1 inch of water per day similar to corn. He warns irrigation must cover peak drouth periods when streams run dry and domestic needs rise.

Swine Herd Size Is Problem Now
Iowa State College extension animal husbandman E L Quaife warns swine producers face a 1966 spring pig planning challenge due to feed shortages. He advises timing May or June farrowing, feeding oats with supplements, keeping sows and gilts thrifty, self feeding a mineral mix, and sowing rye for winter and early spring pasture to sustain herds.

Farmer Feeds Cattle Directly Boosts Milk in Iowa Trial
Kenneth Hawke of a 320 acre farm near Mitchellville Iowa reports 40 cows on a small permanent pasture using direct cut feeding. He chopped about 25 acres of alfalfa brome to supply roughage and saved labor while keeping milk production steady at two gallons above baseline in hot weather. He credits a $700 chopper for enabling extra daily pasture time and notes no bloat issues. The SCS office at Newton Iowa records the observations.

Investigating Water Supply for Irrigation Planning
Willrich stresses careful water planning for 1 acre of fruit, noting 7000 gallons daily. Investigate all possible water sources, select dependable ones, test underground supplies, then design the system to match water capacity and avoid overextending acreage.
Water Driven Stock Gains Boost Milk Output
Water is essential to stock growth and milk production says an agricultural authority. He notes 90 gallons of water per pound of steer gain, hogs drink 20 gallons daily, calves 6.5 to 8, yearlings 7 to 11, and 2-year-olds at least 10. Dairy cows consume 12 to 15 gallons, heavy producers up to 30. Pressure water systems offer efficient delivery, saving labor and boosting production despite cost.
Cows Need More Grain With Oat Silage Diet
Dairymen using oat silage this winter may need more grain in rations than with corn silage. Floyd Arnold of Iowa State College notes oat silage has higher digestible protein but lower total digestible nutrients due to more fiber. If cows eat less silage, increase grain to maintain production. even with equal intake, grain must rise to cover nutrient gaps. Oat silage contains about 1.4 percent digestible protein and 16.9 percent digestible nutrients versus corn silage at 1.2 percent digestible nutrients.
