GERALD BURKET Martinsburg, PA (100 cows, feed and seed sales) don’t think there’s anything today that a farmer can do that will be more productive for his operation than plant a corn HHul^HEl—9l hybrid that is highly digestible. The more forage the cow can utilize the less a dairy producer has to purchase off the farm and the more profitable his operation will be. If we have a corn plant with improved digestibility we can get more fiber into the cow and at the same time keep a healthier cow, maintain production and also put together a less expensive ration.. As a feed consultant, a ration with digestible corn silage makes my job much easier because I know we won’t run into some of the problems that we would have with less digestible hybrids. I’ve also noticed that higher quality forage will have a tremendous impact on the herd health of cows. The Cargill Menu helps provide consistency and stability in rations. Cows simply eat more with good-quality forages and that’s why they move up in production. RICK CRAIG Everett, PA (feed and seed sales) As a business person, you must use all the tools at your disposal. This has to be something that dairy producers look at. I believe you have to start with a quality product to get maximum milk production. pAIRY WHOLE PLANT QUALITY [ENERGY] [INTAKE] Cf UDE %DM IN VITRO WP %DM IN VITRO NDF PR ITEIN NFC DIGESTIBILITY NDF DIGESTIBILITY 9 9 9 9 7 __ _ _ _ 5 ~ 6 6 6 6 7 9 9 9 9 7 ”98 9 9 7 _sB 9 7 9 _s9 7 8 6 _ | 9 8 9 7 _39 7 8 5 8 9 8 9 ” 5 7 5 8 J 6 7 9 8 8 6 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 7 8 6 5 7 5 9 8 6 8 8 9 7 8 9 8 7 1 9 8 8 8 7 5 6 5 7 5 8 6 9 4 4 9 _f6 5 5 7 _ fe 6 6 5 7 _E7 7 7 8 & 6 7 6 8 a base for the whole plant quality portion of this menu.
