Crop Report
For the week ending June
23, reports from across the
commonwealth indicate that
the continued wet weather
has caused the making of
hay to be slower than last
year, according to the
Pennsylvania Crop
Reporting Service.
The first cutting of alfalfa
is 57 percent done and
clover-timothy hay is 39
percent complete. These
compare to 64 percent on
alfalfa and nearly 50 percent
on clover-timothy hay last
year. Quality is rated mostly
fair, lower than at this time
in the past three years.
The Commonwealth’s com
is 12 inches high. This is
about three inches or five
days ahead of the 1974 crop.
Height is reported nine in
ches in the north, 12 inches in
central and 14 inches in
southern counties.
Barley and wheat
development are catching up
to last year. Barley is 51
percent turning yellow and
about seven percent ripe -
nearly on par with last year.
Milk; There is no other
single food like it. United
States Department of
Agriculture data show that
in 1973, dairy foods (ex
cluding butter) provided
only 12 percent of the food
energy (calories) available
for civilian consumption in
the United States; yet they
provided 76 percent of the
calcium, 42 percent of the
riboflavin, 37 percent of the
phosphorus, 23 percent of the
protein, 22 percent of the
magnesium, 21 percent of
Vitamin 86, and 9 percent of
thiamin (Vitamin Bl).

Wheat is 24 percent turning
yellow, about two days
behind last year. Harvest of
a small amount of barley
was reported.
Oats continue to develop
on schedule with last year.
The crop is 35 percent
headed. Heading is even in
central and southern
counties but considerably
slower in the north.
Tobacco is reportedly 68
percent transplanted. Last
year transplanting was
basically completed by this
time. The dry weather of the
last few days may help in
completing transplanting.
The soybean crop is vir
tually all planted. This is five
days ahead of 1974. Only the
southern counties show a
small amount yet to plant.
Strawberry harvest is in
progress. Peaches are being
thinned and sweet cherry
harvest has begun.
An average amount of feed
is reported coming from
pastures.
As on June 15, across the
United States, the small
grain harvest has been
gaining momentum. In Ohio,
winter wheat is 15 percent
turning, 35 percent in In
diana, and 85 percent in
Illinois with 10 percent ripe.
This development in all three
states is much behind 1974.
The peach harvest is 39
percent complete in Georgia
and 12 percent in South
Carolina.
Subnormal temperatures
over much of the major com
growing area limited
growth, however,
development continues
ahead of 1974 and average in,
most major states.

Charolais Steers
Show High Production
Half-brother steers to a set
of Charolals-sired steers that
captured performance
honors in the 1973 Great
Western Beef Expo at
Sterling made a repeat
performance in this year’s
competition, winning the
feedlot performance
category of the prestigous
feedlot • carcass com
parisons.
Sired by the purebred
Charolais bull Bamark, the
pen of five steers from the
Lloyd Deßruycker Ranch at
Dutton, MT., averaged 3.62
pounds per day daily gains
and closed the 168-day
feeding trial with a weight
per day of age of 2.86 pounds.
The performance was best
for sire groups in both daily
gains and weight per day of
age.
The gain and weight
figures were even better
than the record of Bamark’s
sons in the 1973 competition,
when that pen averaged 3.24
pounds per day gains and a

weight per day of age of 2.76
pounds.
Averaging 451 days of age,
the steers went on test
weighing 685 pounds and
closed the study at 1,293
pounds. The range in gains
for the pen was from 3.26
pounds to 3.93 pounds per
day.
After slaughter, the steers
produced average carcass
weights of 866 pounds with an
average cutability of 51.1 per
cent. The steers had an
average carcass value per
day of age of $1.53, which
was 15 percent better than
all carcasses in the study.
The steers produced .968
pounds lean per day of age,
which, on a ratio basis, was
18 per cent higher than other
steers on the test.
The group of carcasses
also had an average loin eye
measurement of 14.8 square
inches, ranging from a low of
12.5 square inches on one
steer to 16.7 square inches on
another.
