D2-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 3, 2003 TRUMANSBURG, N.Y. Traditionally, Northeast dairy farmers have grown corn and al falfa hay as their staple feeds. However, many acres in the Northeast are not well suited for profitable production of these crops. Recent studies by AgriCulver Seeds, Cornell Cooperative Ex tension, and others has shown that BMR sorghum-sudan grown in combination with winter triticale can provide dairy producers with an alterna tive cropping system for supe rior production on marginal soils. This combination has the abil ity to significantly increase the quantity and quality of forage for dairy operations and satisfy government requirements for nutrient management and ero BACKHOES THE PRECISION FOR TURF THE POWER FOR CONSTRUCTION • Available in 6-1/2, B’, 9’ and 12-1/2’ Models • Skid Steer Models Available in 8’ and 9’ Sizes • Hydraulic Cylinders Feature NitroSteel® Black Piston Rods • Ease of Operation with Two Level Hydraulic Controls • Buckets ranging from 9” to 36” • Replaceable Hardened Teeth Detlai.

When the two crops are grown sequentially, the ground has a crop growing on it 11 or more months of the year. Addi tionally, in university research, both crops have shown their su perior ability to uptake phos phorous and nitrogen from the soil and convert it into quality forage. When compared to the New York State average of 15 ton corn silage, Bovine Bounty” and TriCal® 336, grown in sequence, can out produce average and below average corn silage by as much as 7,000 pounds of milk per acre (using Wisconsin’s Milk 2000 equations).

When incorporated into dairy rations, the nutritional quality of these crops provides increased animal health, milk production, and profitability. In fact, Dairy Banquet® Bovine Bounty BMR sorghum-sudan has demon strated the ability to reduce the total ration cost by $0.07-$O.lO per cow per day at the same per cent of forage in the diet as corn silage. TriCal® 336 winter triticale, with its high protein and fiber digestibility also adds to feed savings by reducing the need for purchased concentrates and in creasing the dry-matter intake from forages.
