The Bou-Matic*
Computerized Feed Management System...
Through computerized feeding you can tail or
your concentrate consumption on a cow-by-cow
basis and regulate the maximum amount of con
centrate consumed in 12 daily feeding periods. With
this means of control, your cows can be fed according
to their production—not demand. This eliminates
overfeeding of low producers which results in better
feed cost management and also provides high milkers
the full nutrition they need to maximce milk produc
tion.

Agriculture’s Soil
Conservation Service,
reports.
Preliminary data
from the agency’s 1982
National Resources
Inventory show that the
l average annual rate of
sheet and rill erosion on
I cultivated cropland in
the U.S. last summer
was 4.8 tons per acre,
down from 5 tons per
acre estimated during a
similar inventory in
1977.
Jerry S. Lee,
resources inventory
director for the agency,
characterized the
change as “in
significant.” He added
that final data from the
inventory, including
state-by-state data, are
expected this fall.
Other preliminary
data from the 1982 in
ventory show that 31
percent of the nation’s
nonfederal rangeland
was an excellent or good
ecological condition and
61 percent was in fair or
poor condition. About 8
percent of the rangeland
has been seeded to non
native grass species and
therefore was not
classified as to con
dition.
Lee said these data'
are the first national
statistics on range
condition that were
collected using national
inventory sampling
techniques. They show
little change from 1977
conditions but represent
a significant im
provement from con
ditions recorded in an
extensive study con
ducted in 1963.
For the 1982 in
ventory, USDA soil
conservationists and
other trained specialists
recorded resource
conditions at 1 million
sample points across
the nation. The lowa
State University
Statistical Laboratory is
compiling and
processing the data.
