Many of our beef producers and dairymen have found corn silage to be an excellent feed. Three tons of corn silage is equal to one ton of good quality alfalfa al-falfa hay. Some fields in ths county produced as high as 24 tons of corn to the acre. It requires re-quires a tremendous yield of alfalfa (8 tons) per acre to equal this in feed value. With the extremely ex-tremely high hay prices this winter, the man with silage in his pit is saving a lot of money. Corn variety tests have been conducted at various places in the county during the past year. A summary of these shows the following: Of the long season varieties, the best are Ohio C 38. Porto Walco 100, Utahybrid 680, Utahybrid 544, and Haap-ala. Haap-ala. Of the short season varieties those yielding the best were Port Walco 90. and Minhybrid 301. These varieties have been quite consistent in out-yielding the others in our tests. Farms around Duchesne. Arcadia, Ar-cadia, Bridgeland, Myton and Roosevelt can usually mature the long season varieties if planting is done early. Farms in the high elevations need to plant the short season varieties in order or-der to get corn in the dough stage before frost. This is the best stage of maturity for good quality corn silage. Anyone interested in more detailed information about local lo-cal corn variety tests may obtain ob-tain it from my office. |
