How Is Your Roughage Supply?
Prospects are that all roughage such os hay, pasture,
and silage will be in short supply on most dairy farms.
Purchased hay is a costly source of nutrients and short,
dry, mature pastures are low in energy and nutrients.
However, grain feeding, to make up the nutrient and
energy deficiencies of poor pastures and conserve your avail
able hay and silage by spreading the feedings of this throughout
the year, is economically sound.
What To Do If Your Roughage
Is In Short Supply?
1. Appraise your roughage supply and spread feeding of
if evenly throughout- the season.
2. Feed Green Pastures #515 Nutro-Sweet (can be fed
up to 10 lbs. per cow per day if roughage supply is
critically short) 4 lbs. Nutro-Sweet equal to 6 lbs. of
top quality hay or 8 - 10 lbs. good quality roughage.
3. Increase grain feeding to maintain the proper nutrient
intake and milk flow.
• You will be ahead in terms of total milk production.
• You'll have lower feed costs per 100 lbs. of milk.
• Fat test will show more uniformity during the
lactation period.
High concentrate feeding of cows with high production
potential is a proven profit procedure.
The cheapest source of nutrients and energy is a HIGH
LY FORTIFIED high energy ration.
A minimum of roughage, or a roughage extender such as
Green Pastures Nutro-Sweet, is necessary to maintain butterfat
test. Feed this when roughage is in short supply and increase
grain feeding for the most and cheapest milk.

Record com harvesting is a specialty of the Gleaner,
back year after year with more national winners
than all other makes together.
This kind of capacity and low upkeep makes real
sense, too, the way corn yields increase every year.
Farmers with 200 bu. per acre farms in the near
future will sure be glad Gleaners were their choice
this year. Because these machines will be around to
do the harvest in record time. And do it with lower
field loss, minimum trash and less shelled corn loss—
just the way they do it at the National Contests.
Higher profits from your corn is worth a good,
hard look at the Gleaner. There’s lots to look at.
We'll guarantee you that.
