THE AERO DRYTM COMPUTER
YOU REMEMBER that the corn crib,
while using only natural air, would dry
down corn quite nicely Well the AERO
DRY COMPUTER™ enables us to use
the air only when conditions ARE
RIGHT to rapidly bring the corn
moisture to where we want it AND we
do not aerate until we need to - thus
saving you tremendous amounts of
money AND time spent babysitting.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. - The
type of feed, and not just the
forage-to-concentrate ratio, af
fects response from buffering
ingredients, a leading dairy
nutritionist reported recently.
Speaking at the Buffers,
Neutralizers and Electrolytes
Symposium sponsored by the
National Feed Ingredients
Association (NFIA), Jimmy Clark
of the University of Illinois said
that buffers like sodium bicar
bonate were first thought to be
effective only when high levels of
concentrate were fed in diary
rations. More recent research
suggests buffer response is also
affected by feed particle size and
whether the forage is fermented or
unfermented.

use of complete, blended rations
has reduced the particle size of
many dairy cows’ diets, Clark
explained.
“Reduction in particle size of the
diet markedly reduces the amount
of saliva secreted and hence the
buffering capacity of the ruminal
contents,” Clark said. Several
experiments have shown that
feeding finely chopped or ground
forage reduces' butterfat
production, compared to feeding a
coarse or long forage. Sodium
bicarbonate fed at .75 to .8 percent
dry matter can help maintain
normal butterfat production when
particle size is reduced by chop
ping or grinding.
Fermented forages also increase
the need for buffering, Clark said,
because they increase the "acid
load” on the animal. He cited Penn
LANDISVILLE - K.J. Keynolds
Tobacco Company has presented
Penn State with a fit of $5,000 for
tobacco production research.
The funds will be used for
projects in plant breeding,
measuring and nutrient content of
manure applied to tobacco fields,
determination of objective
characteristics that indicate
superior leaf for chewing tobaccos,
and determining the effect of
maturity on chewmg tobacco
quality.
A.K. Mitchem, Senior
Agricultural H&D Coordinator for
Keynolds Tobacco, presented the
check for the gift to John O.
Yocum, semor research associate
and superintendent of the
Southeastern Field Research
Laboratory.
K.J. Keynolds contributions to
tobacco research, extension, and
State research with sodium
bicarbonate fed at 1.2 percent of
the dry matter in a ration of 75
percent corn silage and 25 percent
concentrate. A beneficial response
to bicarb in that study was par
tially due to bicarb’s neutralizing
effect on the acids present in the
silage. Bicarb also counteracted
acids produced when the silage
further fermented in the rumen, he
said.
in conclusion, Clark called for
dairy researchers to routinely
measure the mean particle size of
rations when studying buffer
response.
"To make effective use of buf
fers in the future, we must pay
more attention to such factors as
acid load imposed on the animal
and the physical and chemical
properties of the diet,” he said.

forms, more N will be available to
the crop at the crucial seed-filling
stage,” Johnson says.
Three-ln-One Nitrogen
For this reason, Johnson favors
the use of urea-ammonuun nitrate
(UANj solutions. "A UAN solution
contains all three forms,” he ex
plains. "The fertilizer itself will
help spoon feed’ the crop.”
UAN Solutions, available in 28%,
30% and 32% formulations, also
provide more versatility, he says.
They can be dribbled near the base
of the plant, close to the root zone.
"As long as you get some ram
within four or five days of ap
plication, you can leave the fer
tilizer on the surface without
mixing or knifing it into the soil,"
Johnson says. "That’s an im
portant consideration if you’re on a
conservation tillage program.”
Nonetheless, Johnson says
placing UAN solutions two to three
inches deep is the best method of
application. This can be done by
dribbling the solution ahead of the
cultivator.
Another factor favoring the use
of UAN solutions is the possible
need to correct unexpected
nutrient deficiencies. A
prescription mix of nitrogen and
other needed nutrients can be
applied together without using two
separate application rigs, he says.
