Oat straw leads in palatability and energy for cow rations
Oat straw is more palatable than barley and barley more than wheat, with oat straw highest in energy. Best fed to mature dry cows close to calving, while allocates prime for bred heifers and post calving rations. Proper nutrition in late gestation boosts calf vigor and later rebreeding success. Morgan Moore Farm extension specialist notes reduced fall prices push cost-saving feed strategies.
Home grown cotton plant blooms from seeds in March
Alice Saunders visited the Review office with a cotton plant she started from seed in March. The seed came from her daughter Lynn Kuttrick of Williams Lake BC who obtained it from a friend in Arkansas. Saunders notes the plant indoors yielded many blooms after about 200 days from sowing.
