m the tribune thursday august 1kx seeding should be planned now seeding methods for hay and pasture fields like many other things in farming are not well defined the job can be done spring summer or fall direct or with a nurse crop with different kinds of equipment and theres a hundred different seed mixfes to choose from incentive to milk production york region the onedollar increase to farmers for producing 100 pounds of industrial milk will encourage dairymen to keep their milk production up says keith matthie second vicepresident ontario federation of agriculture matthie is a dairyman from brock- ville industrial milk is used for skim milk butter cheese and manufactured milk products farmers were not given a pay increase for table milk he says milk production in ontario has been declining at an alarming rate one of the reasons is todays higher feed prices farmers can make more money selling their dairy cows for beef than by milking them slaughtering of good dairy cows un necessarily has got to stop and the only thing that will stop it is a higher price for industrial milk that is why this price increase is so desperately needed it will amount to the full dollar for farmers who have enough subsidy quota to cover their production the increase ef fective today is made up of a 56cent direct payment to producers a reduction of the export levy on manufactured milk products from 30 cents a hundredweight to 10 cents and a threecent increase per pound in the support price of skim milk powder federal agriculture minister eugene whelan announced the increase following requests by the ofa the canadian federation of agriculture and the dairy farmers of canada between december 1 1972 and june 1 1973 prices of protein sup plements needed in dairy feed tripled grain prices climbed between 25 and 50 per cent wages for farm help which is in short supply rose seven percent this increase was needed now to allow dairy farmers to keep milking adds matthie fall seeding is worth thinking about this year because after last yinter we need new stands of hay and pasture fall seeding isnt really good because legumes that havent had a chance to develop a strong root system winterkill easily and a hay or pasture field without at least two thirds legues is a poor one grasses on the other hand do well seded in late august or early september the proof of that can be found easily on any nursery sod farm so the challenge is to get the legumes strong enough to live through the winter seeding early enough is a big point a midaueust or first september date has a fighting chance but late september or october is for losers a good rhot of fer tilizer like 83216 a well worked seedbed a packer following the seeder and no nurse crop will all help to get the best possible start another idea to spread the risk would be to put only half the legume seed on this fall and put the rest oa with a cydone seeder just when the frost is coming out next spring but again fall seeding is only suggested where it is important to save time and get a field into by next year seeding down with wheat carries an even greater risk because the wheat is a very strong competitor another job ewhere timing is crucial is killing quack grass by cultivator hot dry weather in august is absolutely the best and following through into september will starve the roots so that none will survive the winter even with a full schedule every day this month i would squeeze in some time to talk to my farm supply dealer and get on his list for liquid nitrogen and the equip ment to meter it into my corn silage at silo filling this method of sub stituting protein worked well on several farms here in york last fall and with the current protein situation im guessing that many more dairymen and beef feeders will use it on this years crop moinsteef uhbrrvfe 2971700 long distance caul collect advertise weekly for best results ad president joins retailers morris saffer president of morris
