Future sunflower DEKALB, 111. - Due to a very wet, prolonged planting season m eastern Indiana and western Ohio in the spring of ISMJI, some fanners who needs them? Quality, roughage alone can provide much of the protein and energy needed for milk production. But since roughages may lack both balance and quantity of minerals necessary for maximum milk production, bone and muscle development, and the most efficient utilization of other nutrients—many dairymen need a mineral supplement program. How can you tell if you need a mineral supplement program? Let us make a free analysis of your forage crops. We'll give you a report on the nutrient value of your hay, silage, or other roughages, along with recommendations for any supplements—if necessary. We won't try to sell you anything you don't need!

The supplement they recommend will contain the necessary minerals to make up deficiencies or imbalance in your roughages and to achieve the proper calcium-phosphorus ratio in your total feeding program.

The U.S. oil-type sunflower acreage will continue to increase as demand for its product grows. Current hybrids normally contain up to 45 percent oil, which is the primary product. Sunflower oil has a lower flash point than other cooking oils and smokes less when heated. It is very popular in Europe and the Soviet Union, but is still being "discovered” as a cooking oil in the United States. A sunflower margarine and a peanut-butter type spread made from sunflower seeds are now available. Other by-products of sunflowers include the meal remaining after pressing the seed to remove the oil.
