University research on a new line of forages shows dramatic in creases in milk production com pared to normal com silage. Based on the trials, fanners could boost net returns by more than $l5O per cow per lactation. Full Time™ forage, developed by Cargill Hybrid Seeds plant breeders, boosted production by 5.5 pounds of fat-corrected milk per cow per day in a Michigan State University (MSU) trial, compared to its conventional counterpart. The feeding tests, supervised by MSU dairy nutritionist Dr. Mike Allen, show an increase in fiber digestibility and an increase in dry-matter intake. Cows fed silage made from Full Time forage actually consumed 8 percent more dry matter, which contributed to the increased milk production. Body condition scores also im proved during the feeding trials, an indicator of improved herd health. Assuming a milk price of $l4 per hundredweight (cwt), the MSU results translate to an in crease in net income of $l5O per cow per 305-day lactation (see ta ble).

Full Time™ forage is also being tested this fall and early winter in 90-day feeding trials at 157 dairies in 11 states, according to Dr. John Foley, technology deployment manager in Cargill’s Animal Nu trition Division. The cooperators will work closely with Cargill nutritionists and territory managers as well as Michigan State University nutri tionists to analyze the results. Sev eral 10-day feedbunk trials at about 30 farms also are under way.

Full Time forage hybrids in ma turity ratings of 100, 110 and 118 days will be available for 1997.

The resulting plant contains up to 40 percent less indi gestible lignin than its convention al counterpart and provides effec tive fiber in a highly digestible form. Development of Full Time for age is part of a broader forage quality program begun by Cargill Workshop March MILTON (Northumberland Co.) All agricultural producers are invited to participate in the FarmPLANS workshop. Monday, March 17, here at the All Ameri can Restaurant. “PLANS” stands for Planning Agriculture Nets Success. The objective of this workshop, put on by Penn State Cooperative Extension, is to develop business management skills in the men and women who operate farm businesses. Participants will learn to devel op mission statements for their businesses, a vision for where they want it to head, and goals to chart the course. They will learn time in 1987 to screen and develop corn hybrids that produce superior for age yield and enhanced feed value. Dr. Allen believes the low lignin corn silage digests and passes from the rumen more rap idly, allowing greater feed intake and resulting in greater milk pro duction. FarmPLANS management techniques, systema tic problem-solving and good communication skills. These art designed to be practical skills that producers can take home and put to use. The workshop will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 3:30 p.m. Husbands and wives, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, brothers, sisters, employers and employees are all encouraged to attend. The cost is $lO per parti cipant in advance or $l5 at the door. Lunch is included. Checks should be made out to “Montour Extension Special Account” and sent to Penn State Cooperative Extension, 114 Woodbine Lane, Suite 102, Danville.
