Alui Bair, Assistant County Agricultural Agent Common Sense Forage Testing - Now Right now your major concern is probably getting your fall harvesting accomplished, and not setting up your feeding program for the next few months. I know the next few weeks can be rough. You’re a little worried about that last corn silage you put on a stack - it was pretty dry and really didn’t get packed too well. Maybe next year the stack will get made earlier when the corn is greener and the drier silage will go in the upright where it will pack better. Right now you must hurry and get a fence around the stack before the cows have a chance to walk over it. What about that first corn that got picked? Will it keep? Worry about that while you try to make that last alfalfa into hay - sure are only a few drying hours each day! So, get the last corn picked and you can chase the cottontails and ringnecks. What does aU this have to do with forage testing? Well, the rabbits have little to do with it other than the fact that hey do appreciate your growing some good alfalfa for them to eat. The other fall harvesting chores mark the end of the forage harvesting season. All right, the available forage is in storage. Good! But, is the available forage enough to carry your cows through the winter and spring, and put all the milk in the bucket that you like to see? Some of ydu have X tons of hay and 3 silos full of silage, but of what quality is this feed? Did you make all the the hay at the right stage of maturity for maximum TDN? How can you be sure of what you actually have to feed this winter? Test your forages! The money you spend of forage testing is probably your best investment next to your production testing or DHIA fees. It doesn’t take too long to recover $6.25 when you look at the price of forages on the market. The proper feeding of your forages this winter cannot be overem phasized. All right - so you take your forage samples - a representative sample of each kind of forage, and you send them to Penn State. How do you interpret the results? Sure, it’s interesting to know that your alfalfa hay was higher in protein than the winner of the local hay show, but what does it really mean? - to you and your cows. There’s an easy and good way out of this one. As part of Penn State’s forage testing service they will interpret your forage tests for you and at the same time suggest a low-cost grain ration to go with your available forages. This service is at no charge to you if you submit a request with your forage sample or at a later date. So, I know you’re busy, but take a few minutes now to take some good forage samples and send them off with a feeding request form. Next year, take your forage samples all summer and fall while you are harvesting so you have minutes in the fall to hunt rabbits or just sit and think.
