Farm Notes On Seed Quality And Forage Crops
Plant good seed to reap more than you sow. Sweet clover pastures and hay equal alfalfa for protein. Alfalfa thrives if left three to five years. Certified seed guarantees reliability. Community cooperation boosts farming as a business. Over 60 percent of farm grown feeds are marketed through livestock. Oats treated with formaldehyde to prevent smut still retain germination. Yellow biennial sweet clover prompts many farmers to include it in rotations for hay and pasture.
