Disease resistant cabbage seeds curb yellows in Ohio fields
A. L. Pierstorff from Ohio State University explains that identifying diseases during the cabbage growing season lets growers apply proper controls for next year. Yellows, a serious cabbage disease, can be managed by using resistant seed varieties such as Copenhagen, Danish Oak head, and Flat Dutch. Fields with yellows should not be planted to cabbage for years unless resistant plants are used.

Swine Feeding Trials Reveal Benefits of Tankage and Pasture
Swine experts in Indiana Illinois and South Dakota report feeding tests showing gain differences across diets. Purdue University and University of Illinois researchers note corn alone yields slow gains while tankage pasture and mixed feed produce larger final weights and protein supplementation improves daily gain. Tankage on pasture saves corn and adds value, with skim milk as an optional protein source when available.

Select Young Animals for the Feeder Stock
A three years feeding trial at Iowa State College shows early winter steers fed in dry lots yield higher profits than yearlings or two-year-old steers. Calves fatten with less feed per hundredweight, sell for higher prices, and provide a larger margin over feed costs. Yearlings rank next, though with a narrow margin.

Mixing Alfalfa With Timothy Boosts Five Year Hay Yields
At the MHi experiment station a field sown to alfalfa Timothy mix for hay outyielded pure alfalfa over five years. First three years favored alfalfa alone. years four and five favored the mix. Weeds were fewer and the stand persisted longer in the mixture, reducing alfalfa wilt and stand loss.

Dairy herd improvement associations boost milk and fat output
Ivan McKeilip of Ohio State notes dairy herd improvement associations cut losses by enabling selective breeding and individualized cow feeding. Ohio’s 11 000 cows averaged 7 507 pounds of milk and 322 pounds of butterfat, earning 136 over feed costs of 93 with a product value of 229.

Boutfleurs feeding system gains notice in Canada
The Boutfleurs method reduces total roughage and removes succulent roughage. Cows receive a grain ration 5 to 6 percent higher in protein than the 18 percent standard with diverse protein feeds to boost intake and gains. Dry cows get a six week pre-freshening “steaming up” ration.

Ground Hay Grinding Proves Mixed for Cattle
Maryland experiment station tested ground roughage versus whole hay. Cows on ground hay produced 1.31 percent more micre milk and 4.84 percent more butterfat but grinding costs outweighed gains, making the practice not advisable. Some favorable reports on grinding alfalfa exist from Pennsylvania, Walker-Gordon farms, and others.
