Brockett’s Ag Advice
Are You Ready?
Are you ready for planting time?
When was the last time that you
really looked at your spring
cropping plans? A lot of farmers
are not going to get as much money
as they would like for crop needs.
Some are going to get all of the
money they want but won’t use it
as wisely as they could.
Are finances going to be tight
this year? If so you could probably
gain by soil testing, setting fer
tilizer priorities, planning on
needs, and following a budget. Are
you ready? Only you can answer
this question but many farmers
could reduce crop planting costs
without reducing yields if they
knew how many nutrients were
needed, which weeds were a
problem, and whether they have a
built in insect problem.
Can You Save?
Can you save on crop costs?
Here are a few suggestions: (1)
Take good care of lime needs - it is
the key that you need to make
everything else work; (2) Feed
your plants a balanced ration; (3)
Don’t be in a hurry to tear up an old
hay stand - it may be cheaper to
renovate than to replant; (4) Use
an alfalfa-grass mix instead of just
alfalfa-seeding is cheaper and life
of stand will probably be longer;
(5) Plan to satisfy your forage
needs first if you are a dairy or
livestock farmer-good quality
forage is the number one factor in
reducing the cost of producing
milk or meat; (6) Know what pest
you have to control-shotgun
measures can be costly; (7) Drive
your equipment carefully - you

save fuel, repairs and perhaps
lives; (8) Practice a good main
tenance program - you save time,
aggravation, and bills.
Temporary Crops
Every year I get a question
“should I grow annuals such as
sorghun or rye?” Every year I
answer in the same way “yes as an
emergency crop but not as a
permanent crop”. There has been
some research that shows a group
of crops called “brassicas” to be
very productive if pastured. Most
of you know this group of crops
under their more common names
of turnips or rape. You might ask
your county agent for some in
formation about them. They are a
relatively inexpensive crop to
grow.
Let’s go back to sorghum (and
its many crosses with sudan grass)
and small grains. They both make
better feed than snowballs, straw,
oak leaves, junky hay or a lot of
other things. We have had heifers
get fat on sudan grass pasture.
Cattle relish both crops as green
chop. Chemical tests appear to be
nearly equal to corn silage in many
respects. However they are not
usually as good as the old com
silage and alfalfa-grass forage
combination for stored feed. So use
them in limited quantity for “in
between feed” or “emergency
feed” or temporary crops. They
will do fine in that role. Don’t go
overboard on them. Remember
that farmers have made money
with good alfalfa or alfalfa-grass
forage for years. We have not yet
found an adequate replacement for
it. Likewise with com silage.
There are about 1,000 farmers and
other landowners who over the
past years have requested
assistance in establishing con
servation practices on their land.
With over 25 years of experience
with the Soil Conservation service,
Palmer is prepared to assist the
people in Franklin County, states
Akers.
Palmer is replacing David
Hoffman, who was transferred to
Nanticoke to supervise strip mine
reclamation work in Luzerne
County.
