Spring Farm Guide
Economical grain storage Brenda Stefanson, PAg Farm Business Management Specialist Regional Services, Ministry of Agriculture Watrous Regional Office What is the most cost effective way to increase your storage capacity? Ministry of Agriculture staff have made some calculations to help inform your decision. This article provides a cost comparison on three types of storage options: (1) steel hopper bottom bins with steel foundations and aeration, (2) steel flat bottom bins with concrete floors and aeration, and (3) grain bag system. The calculations are based on pricing information gathered in early 2011. The actual investment costs will vary based on the prices you negotiate with your supplier. To enable a cost comparison, several assumptions are made. It is assumed that the farm requires 120,000 bushels of storage capacity, based on 4000 seeded acres with an average yield of 30 bushels per acre. The cost of augers for loading and unloading is included in the cost of bins. The cost of the grain bag system includes the cost of a loader, un-loader and grain cart. The cost of spoilage in bins is not included but spoilage is included in the cost of the grain bag system because it can be a significant cost especially when storing a commodity with a high market value. Let’s look at the total investment cost of the dif-
ferent storage options. To store 120,000 bushels, you will need approximately 22 hopper bins with a capacity of 5390 each. With the cost of foundations, aeration and auger included, the total investment is estimated to be $459,184.60 or $3.83 per bushel of storage space. You will need just 9.6 flat bottom bins with 12,500 bushel capacity, to store the same amount of product. Including the cost of concrete floors, aeration and augers the total investment cost would be approximately $293,500.00 or $2.45 per bushel of storage capacity. Grain bags can also store up to 12,500 bushels so 9.6 bags will store 120,000 bushels of grain. The total cost of the bags would be $7,584.00 but this purchase must be made yearly. You won’t need foundations or aeration but you will need a bagger, un-loader and grain cart. Including these costs, your total initial investment is $112,584.00 or $0.94 per bushel. Assuming that bins will last approximately 25 years and augers, grain baggers, un-loaders and grain carts around 10 years, we can calculate the annual cost of the various storage options. The annual cost calculations include depreciation, opportunity cost, repairs and maintenance and interest on investment. The annual cost of the grain bag option includes the yearly cost of bags and an allowance for spoilage. The total annual cost of steel hopper bins with
steel foundations and aeration is approximately $70,437.32 or $0.59 per bushel of storage capacity. Flat bottom steel bins with concrete floors and aeration show an annual cost of $45,916.00 or $0.38 per bushel. The annual cost of the equipment (bagger, un-loader and grain cart) necessary in a grain bag system is $24,360. This comes in at just $0.20 per bushel but adding in the yearly purchase of bags and cost of spoilage, the estimated annual cost of the bag system is $0.37 per bushel. This does not include the cost of the tractor required to power the equipment. This analysis seems to indicate that grain bag systems and flat bottom bins are lower in initial investment costs and annual costs. However, there may be other factors that influence your decisions on grain storage. You might also be considering the ease of unloading hopper bins or the convenience of onfield storage provided by grain bags. Environmental factors may also be of concern and you will want to watch for information from the grain bag recycling pilot project currently underway.

Interpreting feed test results Chelsey Carruthers, M.Sc., A.Ag, Watrous Regional Livestock Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture It’s that time of year again when cows are coming in from pasture, and beef producers must begin the task of planning their winter feeding strategy. A great first step is to have forages tested by an accredited laboratory. A standard forage quality test provides the information necessary to decide whether the feed you have available will meet the requirements of the cow herd during the winter months. You can then decide when each feed can be used to best meet the cows’ requirements, and if supplementation of energy, protein, or minerals will be necessary.
Forage tests provide information on the moisture, energy, fibre, protein and mineral content of feeds. These may be reported on an “as is� or “as received� basis, or on a “dry matter� basis. Dry matter values are reported as if the feed contained no moisture, and this is important when comparing values between feeds that have different moisture contents. The values discussed in this article are reported on a dry matter basis. Energy is reported in feed tests in a number of ways: total digestible nutrients (TDN), digestible energy, and relative feed value. TDN is the most common, and is expressed as a percentage. On average, mature beef cows require of 55 per cent TDN in mid pregnancy, 60 per cent

in late pregnancy, and 65 per cent after calving in order to maintain their body condition. Energy requirements will be higher during very cold weather, for cows that are underweight, and for young cows that are still growing. Average quality hay often contains 50 to 60 per cent TDN, while poor quality hay can be less than 45 per cent. Straw contains 35 to 40 per cent TDN. If cows are fed a diet containing only forage, that forage must meet their energy requirement. If not, feeds higher in energy (such as grain or pellets) can be added to the diet to provide the energy required. The fibre content of feed is related to the amount of energy that is available to the cows. Fibre is expressed on forage test results as neutral detergent fibre (NDF). A higher number indicates more fibre in the feed. When NDF is higher than 60 per cent the feed will be very fibrous and bulky. Cows may have trouble physically consuming enough feed to meet their energy requirement. Protein is measured as crude protein (CP). Cows require approximately 7 per cent CP in mid-pregnancy, 9 per cent in late pregnancy, and 11 per cent after calving. Forages will vary greatly in protein content, but in general, legume hay such as alfalfa or clover will be higher protein than grass hay, and cereal green feeds will be lower in protein than hay. Grains are also relatively low in protein. Protein is often supplemented in the form of pellets or lick tanks, which can be used to increase the protein content of the total diet. It is important to keep in mind that protein supplements will not compensate for forage that does not contain sufficient energy. Most feed tests also report the mineral content of the forage. Calcium and phosphorus are the most important minerals to consider. The complete diet should contain at least 0.25 per cent calcium and 0.17 per cent phosphorus. More importantly, the diet should contain at least 1.5 times more calcium than phosphorus. Minerals often need to be supplemented using one of the many products available. Speaking with a nutritionist can be help to solve the mystery of which mineral supplement to use with your forages. As with many things, the first step to planning a winter feeding program is to know what you have to work with. Forage testing is a valuable tool for determining the most effective way to use your feed resources.

What does forage quality mean for my cows? Chelsey Carruthers, M.Sc., AAg, Watrous Regional Livestock Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Winter feeding can be a challenging time for cattle producers, especially since forage quality can vary greatly. It’s not always evident from looking at a bale what the quality of the forage is. How does forage quality affect cows, and what can we do about it? What is energy? Forage quality refers to the nutritional value of a feed source: the amount of energy, fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins it contains. Energy is measured in a number of ways, but total digestible nutrients (TDN) is the most common. High quality alfalfa hay may contain up to 65 per cent TDN, while poor quality hay or barley straw has around 45 per cent TDN. The average cow requires 55 percent TDN during mid-pregnancy, 60 per cent during late pregnancy and 65 per cent after calving. If the cow’s diet is completely made up of forage, her energy requirement must be met by the forage. Can’t they just eat more? A common belief is that cows can simply eat more low quality forage to meet their energy demands. This is not true in most cases, due to the fiber content of the feed. Generally, as the energy content of the forage falls, the fiber content rises. Fiber adds bulk and increases the amount of time the feed is retained in the digestive system. Because high fibre feed takes longer to digest, less feed can be consumed throughout the day. Even hay that looks good can contain enough fiber to limit consumption. This is especially important when the cow’s energy demands are increased, such as during very cold weather, or when their rumen capacity is decreased in late pregnancy. What about protein and minerals? The protein content of hay is also an important consideration. The protein content of feeds is expressed as crude protein
(CP). A cow requires about 7 per cent CP in the total diet in mid-pregnancy, 9 per cent in late pregnancy, and 11 per cent after calving. Alfalfa hay contains more CP than does grass hay, but all types of hay vary widely. Two-year-old hay will generally have lower protein than it did the year before. The only way to know how much CP is present is to have the feed tested. This lets you know exactly what is available to your cows, and when supplementation might be needed. Last but not least, the amount of minerals in the forage should be considered. The two most important minerals for beef cows are calcium and phosphorus. These minerals are present in most forages, but at different levels. Alfalfa hay tends to be high in calcium, while cereal green feed is high in phosphorus. A cow’s total diet should contain at least twice as much calcium as phosphorus. A deficiency or imbalance of these minerals can be corrected by providing an appropriate mineral supplement. What can we do? If a cow’s needs for energy, protein or minerals are not being met by the available forage, supplementation is required. It is important to note that a deficiency in energy cannot be solved by providing a protein supplement, or vice versa. If more energy is required, adding some higher quality forage, grain or pellets can increase the energy content of the total diet. For protein and mineral deficiencies, adding a feed with higher levels of these nutrients, or a commercial supplement, can fix the problem. Providing a balanced diet which meets all of the nutritional requirements of the cow herd is the cornerstone of maintaining healthy, productive cows.

How to control dock weeds in pasture Nadia Mori, MSc, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist Watrous Regional Services Office Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Following the wet conditions of 2010 and 2011 you may have noticed an increase in dock in your pasture land. Dock weeds are perennial plants and thrive in meadows, low pastures/hayfields, roadsides and streambanks plus occasionally on drier upland sites. The docks commonly found in the Prairie Provinces include field dock (Rumex pseudonatronatus) and curled dock (Rumex crispus) which are both intro-
duced species as well as western dock (Rumex occidentalis) which is a native species. They all look very similar and are distinguished based on differences in plant characteristics. The introduced dock species are generally the trouble makers in that they can spread rapidly and displace other desirable vegetation. Dock can easily be spotted in a field as they grow around 1 m tall and turn brown in late summer. During winter, the brown and rusty-red stalks are easily spotted sticking out of the snow. The plant reproduces through new buds growing out of the crown area and through prolific seed production. A single plant produces several thousand seeds each year. Seeds remain viable in the soil for at least two to four years. It should be noted that dock will increase in abundance naturally in wet years so total elimination is likely not practical. Prevention is the best measure to control dock. Dock seedlings are not very competitive against healthy pasture plants with thick cover. Once out of the seedling stage, dock is resistant to grazing, mowing and competition The rusty-reddish looking dock plants are easily spot- from grass. The ted in a field. plants develop an
extensive root system from a solid tap root. Small populations can be controlled by digging each plant at least 5 cm below the root crown. Larger infestations may be contained but are difficult to eradicate. The heavy cultivation required to control dock is not practical in a pasture situation. Grazing is not a good option as livestock forced to eat dock can develop dermatitis and gastric disturbances. At the same time trampling may increase further seed spread. Repeated mowing can discourage seed production but appears to encourage regeneration of the taproots and branching of the shoots, increasing the potential for future growth. Herbicide options in established pasture are limited. Please refer to the Saskatchewan
Ministry of Agriculture publication Guide to Crop Protection for suggested herbicide options. For long-term control, prevent seed formation and encourage a healthy and competitive forage stand. Proper grazing management is probably the most economical method when dealing with dock. Avoid overgrazing as weedy plant species like dock can spread easily in a weakened forage stand.

Good crop and herbicide rotations go hand in hand Erin McLeod, MSc., AAg Regional Crop Specialist, Watrous Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture The task of balancing yields while still maintaining good crop and herbicide rotations can be complex. Dependency on just a few herbicides can lead to the overuse and development of herbicide resistant weeds within fields that can be difficult to control. An effective long-term crop rotation that includes cereals, pulses and oilseeds can complement the rotation of multiple herbicide groups with different modes of action (MOA). Herbicides are classified into different groups depending on the MOA used to control the target weeds. Very few MOA’s have been developed in recent years. Therefore, reducing the risk of herbicide resistance is important in order for herbicides to remain an effective weed control tool .This is most
successfully done by rotating herbicide groups used within a field and/or by using two or more MOA to control the same target weeds. Using multiple modes of action may be accomplished through herbicide combinations sold as one product or through the use of a registered tank mix. One such example of this is where multiple applications of glyphosate products are used each year for pre-seed, post harvest or chemical fallow weed control. By tank mixing or using a product with an additional MOA with glyphosate that targets the same weeds such as Heat (group 14), 2,4-D (group 4) or MCPA (group 4), can reduce the risk of developing glyphosate resistant weeds. In cereal crops a large majority of herbicides used for in-crop weed control are from groups 1, 4, and 6 allowing for less opportunity to rotate products. Registered weed control options in pulses such as

peas, chickpeas and lentils can be limited. However, the introduction of a group 14 product (e.g. Authority) for chickpeas and peas allows for another MOA that can be used to control weeds such as group 2 resistant Kochia. Growing an oilseed such as canola, is an effective way of including additional herbicide groups by using herbicide tolerant crops such as group 9 (glyphosate), group 10 (Liberty) and group 2 (Clearfield). When feasible, growing other oilseed crops such as flax or mustard can also provide additional opportunities for other products to be included. While it is still possible to have an effective herbicide rotation by growing crop such as canola consecutively, it will not effectively prevent the buildup of disease and insects pressures that can reduce the performance of your crop overtime. The use of good rotations of both herbicides and crops can help to reduce the risk of developing herbicide resistant weeds in fields and improve overall crop performance. More information on herbicide group, modes of actions and registered weed control products in Saskatchewan can be found in the 2012 Guide to Crop Production.

Forage fertility – planning ahead Nadia Mori, MSc, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist Watrous Regional Services Office Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture In annual cropping systems, fertilizer is automatically part of the crop planning considerations. With forages however, fertility often gets neglected. The fact is, every time a forage stand is cut for hay or grazed as pasture, valuable nutrients are being removed from the field. For example, harvesting one ton per acre of grass forage will remove about 32 lbs of nitrogen (N), 5 to 6 lbs of phosphorus (P), 50 to 60 lbs of potash (K), and 5 to 6 lbs of sulphur (S). Over a number of years, these numbers can easily add up. Hence, when your hay or pasture fields are no longer giving you the expected yield, it may well be the depletion of soil nutrients which limit your production. Forages require N, P, K, S and micronutrients. The foundation of any good forage fertility program is a soil test. A basic soil test is inexpensive and allows you to target pasture fertility needs for maximum yield. As part of your soil nutrient management program, sample your forage soils every three to five years. Knowing which nutrients are deficient and the degree of deficiency allows the formulation of an economical fertility program. Seeding time is good opportunity to provide fertility for the longevity of your stand. As a general guideline no more than 25 lbs per acre of actual N and 15 lbs per acre of actual P should be incorporated at seeding. Band the fertilizer at least one inch away from the seed to avoid reduced germination and damage to the seed. On established
grass stands for hay and pasture, N can be top-dressed in either early spring or late fall. Phosphorus is important to grass, legume, and mixed stands but does not readily move in the soil. Hence, more than one year’s supply of P can be banded or broadcast and incorporated prior to stand establishment. Potassium and sulphur may be limiting nutrients on some soils and should be applied based on soil test recommendations. Improving fertility of established forage stands can take various forms. If economical, commercial fertilizer can be applied. Manure can be a good source of phosphorus and sulfur. Manure nutrient content will vary and some nutrients will only become available for plant uptake after manure decomposition. Transportation distance and manure quality will largely determine the economics of applying manure. By far the most economical source of nitrogen for forages is the legume portion of a stand. If the stand includes more than 50% of any legume, there is no advantage to adding nitrogen fertilizer. Legumes like alfalfa, cicer milkvetch, and sainfoin, can take N out of the atmosphere and convert it into a plant available form. More extensive approaches to improving pasture fertility can take the form of bale grazing on depleted forage stands or providing longer periods of rest to a pasture.

Clubroot: How can I protect my fields? Erin McLeod Regional Crop Specialist, Watrous Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Clubroot is a soil-borne disease that affects the roots of cruciferous crops such as canola, mustard and camelina, as well as cruciferous vegetable crops such as broccoli, turnip and cabbage. It can also be found on cruciferous weeds such as stinkweed, shepherd’s purse, flixweed and wild mustard. Clubroot is a concern because of its ability to affect the overall yield and quality of crops such as canola, and there are few options to control it. The best approaches to prevent clubroot from entering into new areas include understanding how it is spread and using good field management practices. Clubroot is spread through the movement of soil containing spores. Roots of infected plants form enlarged swellings called galls that produce resting spores that are released after roots decompose in the soil. Once in the soil, resting spores can be transported through the movement of contaminated soil. This can include agricultural or industrial equipment, vehicles, tires, animals, shoes, clothing, soil attached to seeds and manure from animals. Cleaning equipment between fields by removing soil lumps and sweeping off excess soil will help to minimize the movement of contaminated soil between fields. Field access points where equipment enters the field are the most common areas of initial clubroot infection and are a good place to look for clubroot symptoms.
Infection of plants by the soil-borne spores can cause above-ground and/or below-ground symptoms. The severity of the symptoms depends on the amount of clubroot spores present in the soil, environmental conditions and how early the crop is infected. In earlier stages of crop development (up to early podding), symptoms can include wilting, stunting and yellowing of plants. Signs of premature ripening and shriveled seeds may be seen in later crop stages. It is important to note that aboveground symptoms can be confused with those of moisture stress, blackleg, fusarium and sclerotinia. Therefore, plants should also be monitored for the presence of galls below ground by digging them up to confirm the presence of clubroot. Crops susceptible to clubroot should be monitored regularly throughout the growing season, but symptoms will be most visible prior to swathing. Practices for preventing and managing the spread of clubroot include sanitation of equipment between
fields, growing susceptible crops such as canola no more than once every four years (including resistant varieties) and by controlling cruciferous volunteer crops and weeds. The levels of resting spores can increase in fields where susceptible crops are grown more frequently, with higher amounts of spores increasing the occurrence and severity of the disease. Resting spore numbers will decline over time when non-host crops are grown, but some can survive up to 20 years in the soil. The more recent development of clubroot resistant canola varieties is another tool to help manage clubroot risk. It is important to note that resistance does not mean full immunity to the disease. The best strategy to manage clubroot is by implementing multiple prevention and management practices.
