Advisory Committees on
Grains and Cotton.
Secretary Butz said the
decision for continued
unrestricted production is
based on the continuing
strong export demand for
grain, particularly for
livestock feeding, soybeans,
and cotton. Under the 1973
farm act, farmers have been
given freedom to shift crops
without restrictive acreage
allotments. The Secretary
said that fanners like the
freedom for decision-making
that exists under current
programs.
In view of projected large
supplies of wheat m 1977,
many wheat farmers are
now making hard decisions
in regard to better alter
natives to planting wheat,
the advisory committee
members indicated.
On August 23, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
announced an accelerated
program for new Public Law
480 wheat export
agreements for the next
fiscal year beginning Oc
tober 1. Greater emphasis
will be placed on wheat in the
Commodity Credit Cor
poration short-term export
credit program in the new
fiscal year.
In 1977, as in the present
year, producers may sub

crop (except marketing
quota crops) or any con-

ATTENTION DAIRYMEN
Kick off your fall
and winter cow
feeding program on
the “right foot".
A Now is the time to
adapt your grain
WJ ration to your new
\Jf roughage program in
tv order to reach your
m winter milk
jL production goal.
- YOU SHOULD -
* Adjust protein to a proper point, but not an
excessive amount because protein ingredients
are likely to be expensive.
* Provide enough T.D.N. to enable your fresh
cows to peak properly and maintain a high level
of production.
* Insure adequate fiber intake to maintain good
butterfat output.
‘Regulate proper Calcium and Phosphorus
intake and ratios in your total ration, including
roughages, to aid in keeping your herd healthy
while maintaining high levels of milk production.
The above mentioned items are all on our
Dairy Nutrition Programming check list. In
addition, we use Brown & Rea and Red Rose
products fortified with Carnation Lab Mix to
insure adequate Vitamin and Trace Mineral
fortification in a ration "tailor made" for your
herd and available roughage and gram.

program recommendation made, please
