Farmers across the Midwest and Virginia fear reduced corn yields will tighten feed supplies for cattle and poultry. Projections show a 50 to 60 percent drop in corn output in affected areas, intensifying a race to secure feed reserves before the August deadline.
P H Dehart extension service agronomist warned an early frost in the corn belt could reduce feed supply and push prices higher. He offered specific suggestions to help Virginia farmers meet the coming shortage in areas with adequate rainfall.
Dehart outlines recommended seeding mixes for diselespedeza sods lespe deza and orchard grass sods with small grains and rye grass per acre, plus crimson clover in drought areas. Suggests timing before Oct 15 and fertilizing with 600 pounds per acre of 3-12-6 or 4-12-4, plus notes after corn or soybeans, winter oats and barley timing, and frost considerations. Local agents provide adapted varieties.
