Sprouted and Frost Damaged
Barley seems to support normal
levels of performance. Most grains
that have sprouted have lower
energy values. But at the Universi
ty of Alberta, 2 sprouted and 3
frost damaged varieties of barley
had no effect on performance
when compared to an undamaged
hybrid. Approximate value of spr
outed or frost damaged barley:
similar to undamaged barley.

Some of the unusual feed grains
can be a bargain at the right price.
Before you jump, put the pencil to
it, then get a second opinion. Be
cautious of molds if you’re buying

Corn Yield
Planned
The Northumberland County
Conservation District is sponsor
ing its third annual yield contest
for com planted by the no-dll
method, according to Robot F.
Pardoe, Jr., chairman of the con
servation district
The unique format of the contest
gives farmers with relatively poo
soils the opportunity to compete
against farmers with more produc
tive farmland.
There will be two separate
categories forjudging. The winner
of the Highest Yield Category will
be the fanner with the highest no
till com yield regardless of soil
type. The winner of the Soil Type
Category will be the farmer that
has achieved the highest yield in
comparison with the “estimated
yield” for his soil type as found in
the soil survey publication for
Northumberland County.
First place winners in each
category will receive a $lOO US
Savings Bond and a plaque. Sec
ond place winners will receive
plaques.
The contest is open only to no
till com. Fields submitted must be
at least five acres in size and be
located in Northumberland Coun
ty. Only one field per farmer may
be submitted in the contest.
Yield checks will be made in
October by the staff of the North
umberland County Conservation
District. Yields will be estimated
by hand-harvesting several small
sample plots and weighing the
com that was picked. Fields
entered in the National Com
Growers Contest may also be
entered in the Northumberland
County contest
The deadline for entering the
contest is September 15. To enter
the contest, contact the Northum
berland County Conservation Dis
trict at 988-4224.
