When Priced Right, Feed Wheat

wheat can be a profitable sub
stitute for coin in beef la
tions, according to Max Smith,
Lancaster County ag agent
Whenever a bushel of wheat
is the same price oi less than
the price of a bushel of coin,
FIX-IT
TIP
Don’t leave a garden hose
out in the hot sun with water
in it —the water can start to
boil and the hose wasn’t in
tended for boiling water
If your hose is damaged,
you may be able to repair it
by cutting out the damaged
part and taking it to a hard
ware store to secure the
proper-sized mending equip
ment. You can get a conven
tional coupling with male
and female ends and, in ef
fect, make two shorter hoses
of one long one. Unless there
is some special reason for
doing that, get a solid mend
er that restores the hose to
one piece This is cheaper

Smith said, it is a piofitable al
tei native
A beef pioducer who must
buy com to finish his cattle, he
said, should be aware of this
possibility to reduce feed costs.
Foi cattle on a high giain
ration, wheat can leplace 25 to
40 per cent of the coin in the
lation, Smith said When cattle
are receiving at least 20 pounds
of silage a day, the wheat can
replace 50 to 75 per cent of the
corn if the giain is mixed
with silage
Coarsely giound or rolled
wheat is recommended for feed
ing as cattle do not relish fine
ly ground wheat because it be
comes pasty in the mouth,
Smith said
He also suggested that chan
ges in cattle rations be made
gradually. This means intro
duce the wheat over a two to
three week period to reduce
chances of digestive upsets or
throwing the cattle off feed.
