With a lot of drought damaged corn going into silos, and pastures suffering from a hot, dry summer, there’s a big temptation for dairy and beef cattle far mers to start feeding silage right away. But beware warn ex tension animals science specialists at the University Patch of (Continued from Page Dl6) Fruitville Pike in Manheim Township. But the 230 Bypass took that land, and the Zeagers moved to the Milton area. It was from that area that the Hersheys partially got the idea for the sunflowers, too. A friend, Pete Beachel, tried 40 acres there last year. John Hershey, although coming from a non agricultural background, has always been interested ui farming. John and Ruth went to the Brecht Elementary School together along the Lititz Pike. “I remember that John used to stand at the fence at recess and watch a farmer working the adjoining field where the Weis Market now stands,” Ruth explains. “That farmer was my father. Little did John know at the time that he was watching his future father in-law.” The Hershey children - John, 14; David, 12; Jim, 10; and Anita, 6 - all are m- may present problems of Maryland. Silage from drought-damage com may have good feeding value; however, it is apt to contain relatively high nitrate levels, which can result in dangerous silo gas for mation. Be sure to ventilate silos and silo rooms before en tering a recently Med silo. If you see a yellowish gas sunshine terested in farming Thev had an acre of strawberries out this year and “sold them faster than they could be picked.” John and Ruth admit their sunflower experiment is touch-and-go this year because of their late start. It’s all going to depend on the weather and how long Jack Frost holds off his first real visit to the county. “But we’ve raised pum pkins, before,” Mrs. Her shey explains. “We know how it is to plant something and not get anything out of it but something nice to look at. “Not only us, but a lot of other people have enjoyed the flowers, even if nothing more comes out of it.” With such a healthy, non selfish attitude toward their agricultural avocation (that really is a first-love vocation), it’s quite ap propriate that the Hersheys should be the farm family to bring a bit of sunshine to Lancaster County in this year that will be remem bered as the Drought of 1980.

Leffel, extension ruminant nutrition specialist and professor of animal science. Leffel recommends waiting for four weeks after a silo is filled before attempting to start using the silage. Then, it might be a good idea to take a sample from each silo on your farm for nitrate testing by the state chemist’s office for the Maryland Department of Agriculture. County Ex tension agricultural agents throughout the state can provide assistance on this procedure. If you know, or even suspect, that one or more silos on your farm contain high-nitrate silage, Leffel, suggests that you: Supplement silage with high levels of carbohydrate or energy feeds, such as grain and molasses, and vitamin A. Feed only limited amounts of high-nitrate silage; supplement with hay. Alternate or mix feeding of high-nitrate and low-nitrate silage, if such conditions exist on your farm. Making silage is a good way to utilitze drought stricken corn, Dr. Leffel commented, since the en siling process lowers dangerous nitrate levels considerably. “Whatever you do, don’t feed drought-stricken com.
