FB-Com Talk, Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 1,2003 Hybrid Test Reports (Continued from Page F 6) I ranklin County The late season hybrids at the diought stressed Franklin Countv site had a vcrv wide unge m drv matter concentrations (Table 8) tnd averaged 14 3% DM As is typical of drought stunted sites the viclds were variable among the replications md this resulted in a high CV lor yield and no significant differences among hybrids tor yield Forage quality differences were significant foi all variables measured On the average this site has relatively high fiber levels, low starch, and low NEI and low Milk ton ratings compared to the other sites Conclusions This test represents a lirst effort at gnnmg a better understanding of hvbnd effects on silage yield and forage quality While the dry weather limited our ability to combine data from thice similar tests we did learn much from this study Considerable hybrid differences exist within each of the 5 dav relative maturity groups Some hybrids were more consistent in yield and quality than others why this occurs is uncertain Also we learned that frequently many of the forage quality trails were more consistent than yield These will ail be important for future work in this area Using this Data There are many opinions on how to interpret com silage yield and torage quality information for use on dairy operations Generally some of the most important variables to consider are yield, NDF, starch and NDFD The Milk 2000 spreadsheet integrates the effects of these and estimates Milk/ton and Milk/acrc Some have found these to be a useful guide for hybrid selection The optimum combination of yield and these variables will depend on farm specific agronomic and dairy nutation considerations Acknowledgement The authors appreciate the input of Andrew Young, Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania, Tammy Perkins, Penn State Dairy Alliance and Jeff McClellan Forage Data, Inc tor their adv ice in helping to design this program The support of cooperating producers, Andrew and Matt Young Dennis and Ben Peckman and Ron Reese was essential to produce crops for Urn program Extension agents Paul Craig, Glenn Shirk Jcre Wingert and Craig Altemose also contnbuted this effort The support of the commercial seed industry and participating producers was also instrumental m conducting this program Prepared by Gregory W Roth 1 .
