T he dry summer and fall of last year and the bitter cold this winter have combined to make hay a valuable commodity. This has made many consider putting cropland to a temporary hay crop, such as sorghum-sudangrass or teff. At the same time, the explosion in China soybean purchases has made raising soybeans a very attractive proposition as well. It is nice for a change to be faced with actual profitable choices! But when faced with two attractive choices, why not choose both?
One thing the cover crop movement has taught us is that growing crops in rapid sequence does not exhaust soil, rather it feeds the soil microbes that increase soil productivity. It is entirely possible to plant a crop of oats, peas or spring triticale (or a mix of all three) in March and have a hay crop made by May, in plenty of time to plant soybeans. Not only can the hay crop make as much revenue as we typically expect from a bean crop alone but growing the hay can create a nice stubble to control soil erosion and improve water infiltration and rooting depth and may offer weed control benefits as well. Spring triticale is an unfamiliar crop to a lot of people, but it is a real rising star in the forage and cover crop world. A cross between rye and spring wheat, it has hybrid vigor compared to either parent. Compared to spring oats, it can yield much higher, and is more competitive against weeds. The quality drops after heading relative to oats, but most people prefer to bale in boot stage to leave as much growing season for the following crop as they can. Peas add both additional yield and additional protein to the mix. Or maybe you would prefer to focus on hay and forgo the beans altogether. In that case, why not grow two hay crops rather than one? You can raise the oat/pea/spring triticale, then follow with a summer forage crop as well. For maximum tonnage you could try a crop of dry stalk sorghum-sudangrass, which offers the high yield of sorghum-sudan in a faster drying package. Alternately, teff grass offers a very rapid drying hay option, while cowpeas or mung beans offer high protein options, Can’t make up your mind? Plan all of them in combination to hedge your bets. If your pastures are beat up after last summer’s drought, you could pasture this crop in late summer and give your perennial pastures a much-needed chance to restore vigor and grow deeper roots to weather the next drought. And, if spending all summer baling hay and spending all winter feeding hay sounds less than appealing to you, how about planting a crop that can be stockpiled and grazed without all that work, such as a crop of brown midrib sterile sorghum, with some companion crops for added protein and energy? Many people are using this very economical means of wintering livestock now with great success. In the fall, you can add yet another forage crop, drilled right into the living stubble of the summer mix as soon as it is hayed or grazed off in late summer. At first glance, this seems to doom the new seedlings to certain failure, as they are competing with the regrowth of the established summer crop for moisture and light. But it doesn’t work that way. The transpiration of moisture from the regrowth of the summer crop cools the soil, dropping the temperature as much as 30 degrees relative to the air temperature. The cool-season seedlings need only 10% of the moisture at 80 degrees as they do at 100 degrees, so drilling a cool-season pasture mix of oats, triticale, rye, ryegrass, turnips, radishes and peas right into unkilled stubble of a summer annual mix can actually increase the survival of the seedlings. After a hard freeze has killed and thoroughly dried the summer plants, they can be grazed off right along with the green growth of the cool-season mix, saving on winter hay needs and providing much higher quality nutrition than hay. Besides, you also save the cost of termination! Best of all, the growing of crops in rapid succession provides those vital soil microbes a continual flow of nutritious root exudates for improving soil structure and water-holding capacity for better crops in the future.
• Ignoring soil health/life.
Noel Garcia, CCA – Chief Operating Officer & Senior Consultant, TPS Lab
• Acceptable irrigation and spray water quality.

• Timing and placement of fertilizer applications.
• The use of biological inoculants and bio-stimulants, such as amino acids, growth hormones and other beneficial products that may not be essential for plant growth.
Timing and Placement of Fertilizer Applications Is Crucial
• The wrong fertilizer for the soil type or crop.
About “Precision Farming”: This term has implied mechanical means of precise seed and fertilizer placement, variable-rate fertilizer applications based on grid soil sampling and nearinfrared ærial surveys, metered applications of fertilizers through irrigation systems and GPS guidance of tractors and sprayers. But realistically, these approaches address only a modest part of achieving maximum crop performance with the most efficient use of money and resources. Whether or not precision mechanical means are used, here some of the most important considerations when attempting to get the most out of the least:
• The key issues in efficient crop production are:
The FarmingFarmersAvailabilityFertilizer-Cost-and-CrisisRequirestoPracticePrecisiontoStayinBusiness Efficient
• The major application of fertilizer being made at the start of the growing season, expecting it to suffice for the entire season.
S ince the onset of 2020, fertilizer prices have been exploding. But now, simply the availability in addition to evermore outrageous cost of fertilizer due to a variety of well-publicized reasons has become very seriously problematic. Presently, there seems to be no ceiling to cost escalation or foreseeable end to limitations on supplies. This means that every pound or gallon of fertilizer applied must be utilized by the crop to the greatest extent possible.
• “Traditional” practices have got to go! Here are the biggest mistakes I’ve seen farmers make over and over again during my 30-plus years with TPS Lab:
• Not planning beyond this year’s crop using the “Regenerative Agriculture” approach.
• The correct fertilizer for your soil type, the crop and its stage of development.
– Many farmers apply the bulk of their fertilizers at the onset of the season. This is colossally wasteful, as plants develop their appetites and tastes with growth, much of the fertilizer has been dissipated by the time the plants start needing it the most. This is particularly true with N. Remember that crop nutritional needs change throughout the growing season, so applying the wrong fertilizer at the wrong time for your particular crop wastes much of your money. As to placement, with row crops, side-dressing can require much less fertilizer and starter “popup” fertilizer is astonishingly effective in getting crops off to fast vigorous starts. After emergence, the use of foliar sprays is the most efficient method of getting nutrients into plants.
• Ignoring irrigation and spray water quality.
• Ignoring existing soil nutrients which are plantunavailable, especially in calcareous, high-pH soils.
• Not keeping up with the latest advances and discoveries in crop nutrition.
• Not using bio-stimulants to improve crop performance and its resistance to disease and insects.
About Foliar Sprays – In some areas of the country, particularly the Corn Belt, foliar sprays of plant-beneficial and nutritional agents are typically seldom used, as this area of the country has been historically known as having the highest-producing capacity of corn and soybeans per acre. Unfortunately, the Midwest’s rich soil nutrient pool is declining due to reduction of soil organic matter (soil carbon) much like the rest of the country. This leads to nutrient deficiencies, especially micronutrients, that limit plant genetic potential resulting in reduced yields and quality. As a result, increased disease and insect pressure Fertilization Practice is now a necessity!
Water Quality Test – Irrigating with hard or salty water can have dramatic impacts on soil chemistry and structure, because What’s In Your Water Becomes Part Of Your Soil ®. As aquifer levels fall, natural dissolved minerals become more concentrated. There are several methods to remediate soil. Using hard water for the spray mix can change the chemistries of spray agents to the extent of making them ineffective and possibly damaging plants. Appropriate water treatment is needed to offset or remediate these problems.
Regenerative Agriculture – Planning beyond this year to reduce costs and increase crop performance by regenerating soil structure and health/life, thereby increasing long-term nutrient availability and carbon sequestration, reducing future costs and resources. Reduction of soil disturbance and continuous vegetation cover on soil as much as possible increases the amount of diversity of organic residues to maximize nutrient and water use efficiency by plants. Restoring overall microbial life is essential to soil/ plant health and biodiversity. This sustainable approach is a long road to travel but it must be initiated if farmers want to be successful over prolonged challenging times.
Bottom Line – Maintaining balanced nutrition and vigorous soil life at every stage of your plants’ life cycle will ensure that no matter what challenge Mother Nature sends, your crops will have the best chance of making you money. Soil, Water and Sap Testing is one of the best investments a grower can make, especially during these times of uncertainty with exorbitant fertilizer prices so you can apply only what your crop needs, where it needs it and when it needs it!
Don’t guess and hope for the best!
Plant Sap Tests at critical stages of crop development during the season are crucial to determining the nutritional needs of the crop so that no more than necessary of what is applied, thus saving money and limited supplies. Plants eat and drink every day and their tastes and appetites change with time. Those changing needs (but no more than needs) must be accommodated to have some assurance of a profitable outcome. Advances and Discoveries in crop nutrition and health are being made all the time – particularly in the chelated forms of micronutrients, resulting in a much higher efficiency of plant uptake and utilization. This means using less to produce more. A fairly recent discovery is foliarly-applied water-soluble silicon. Si stiffens and hardens cell walls, thereby discouraging piercing and gnawing insects and resist disease – and lodging. Si forms a very thin hard layer that resists nematodes and soil pathogens on roots. A very recent tool is nanoparticles that encapsulates the inputs you already use into tiny nanoparticles that glide through foliar and root barriers, thereby improving efficiency and speed of uptake and reducing the energy required by the plant to get nutrients into its cells. Bio-Stimulants – There is more to crop health and nutrition than just chemistry. These game-changers include organic acids, growth hormones and biological inoculants that can dramatically improve crop performance, nutrient uptake efficiency and resistance to disease and insects - thus reducing or eliminating entirely the need for costly pesticides and fungicides. Encourage the plants, microbes and other soil life to do much of the heavy lifting! Already Existing Soil Nutrients – Particularly in calcareous soils, many of the metal nutrients exist as carbonate and bicarbonate chemical compounds often in abundance – all very insoluble and therefore unavailable to plants. The standard soil treatment is sulfur but the latest method also includes the use of bio-stimulants. These break the chemical bond by chelating the nutrients into bioavailable forms. Humic/Fulvic Acids, Amino Acids, Enzymes and beneficial soil bacteria from additions of soil inoculants all play a vital role to access this nutrient pool. Additions of these bio-stimulants to your existing fertility program can increase your fertilizer efficiency by more than 20% in most cases, allowing you to cut back on fertilizer in times of high cost and limited availability, and have long-term cumulative benefits.
– Here is where a Soil Test is really important! If you have calcareous soils and buy micronutrients in the oxide form, you have literally thrown money on the ground with no benefit at all. When it comes to nitrogen, there can be a huge difference between anhydrous ammonia, urea, ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate as to its longevity, its utilization by the plant and its impact on native soil chemistry and soil life. Is it nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen or organic nitrogen?
The forms of other nutrients are equally important – for example, MAP or DAP? Choosing the best fertilizer for your specific soil conditions or foliar fertilizer for specific stage of growth can save huge amount of money and increase ROI. This is the reason why some have not seen much success from the use of foliar sprays. The wrong product, mixing incompatible or antagonistic products together, wrong application rates, missing critical stages of growth and inadequate water quality are quite common mistakes.
increases input costs of additional fungicides and pesticides which reduces return on investment. Here, foliar sprays of bio-stimulants, micronutrients and trace elements can have big, faster and longer-term impacts on crop health, performance andTypeeconomics.ofFertilizer

A gricultural production is facing many challenges - changing weather conditions, depleting soil nutrients, shifting global dietary trends, increasing global food demand requiring farmers to produce more on fewer acres, stricter environmental footprint regulations, rising land and equipment costs, and global political and economic issues impacting trade. For farmers to maintain viable, profitable operations, implementing new techniques, solutions and innovations is critical. With rising costs, farmers are searching for new ways to increase efficiencies, while also protecting soil health and maintaining land quality for futurePulsegenerations.andsoybean crops are commonly grown in North America and around the world. They have the unique ability to fix nitrogen levels in the soil, providing rotational benefits with fewer agricultural inputs, which encourages farmers to incorporate them into their operation. However, a soybean crop, for example, experiences 80 per cent of its losses at the header stage, so this is a good starting point for advancing harvest efficiency. Seeing grain losses during his own harvest was the driving force for Duck Foot Parts’ Founder & President, Steve Kastning, to develop Duck Foot® paddle tines.
Precision and Harvest Efficiency
22 Ritz WESTERN FARM, RANCH, & DAIRY www.FarmRanchDairy.com Duck Foot Parts–Header
The slip-over paddle tines are an award-winning patented farm innovation, created to solve the problem of combine header losses. Duck Foot® was designed to be a time-efficient and cost-effective solution to benefit farmers during harvest. Connecting the product to the farmers who use them, Duck Foot Parts offers knowledge, experience, and expert support. The company has continued to advance and evolve and now offers a unique clip system and models that fit nine header brands.
Duck Foot Parts is focused on building strong relationships with its customers - farmers, dealers and distributors - providing responsive and superior customer service. “Being farmers ourselves, we share in the experience of our customers, and we take pride in offering a quality product to increase yield and save time for farmers during harvest”, said Kastning. Field-tests show 75% savings in header losses in soybean and pulse crops. In all crops the additional advantages such as running a slower reel speed and gaining ground speed can reduce fuel as well as wear and tear on machinery.

If you had to purchase a separate piece of equipment to deal with residue that pulled behind your tractor, there would be additional passes over the fields. The TSR fine chop straw chopper will minimize the need for additional tillage after harvest due to the chopper’s ability to shred residue very fine, saving both time and money. Utilizing the fine chop straw chopper makes for an ideal planting bed for those farmers practicing no-till conservation planting methods.

N orthern Livestock Video, headquartered at Billings Livestock Commission, Billings, MT is engaged in the livestock auction business through Video Satellite & Internet Marketing and is produced by a capable Northern Livestock staff.
Remember, we started the video way of selling livestock, the first in the world, back in the 1970s. We know what we are doing and we would like to prove it to you. When you make the important decision to consign to Northern, call us at 1-866-616-5035
Pat Goggins introduced the video concept of selling livestock to the industry years ago and conducted the first in the world sales during the mid-1970s. Video & Internet marketing has since become a viable, legitimate tool for merchandising feeder cattle and breeding cattle.
The sale is conducted just like an ordinary auction sale only the livestock are not on the premises. Most of the sales will be physically held at the Billings Livestock Commission in Billings, MT where television monitors will be set of for viewing, or you can view the sale in the comfort of your home or office. Buyers will be on the seats to bid and a bank of phones will be manned to take the call-in bids from the video broadcast. They are fast paced auctions with nationwide bidding. Keep in mind when you consign your livestock to a Northern Livestock Sale, it will be broadcast across the North America continent on Satellite as well as on the Internet. Anyone who has a “dish” or computer at home, in the office or feedlot can view the sale and bid on the livestock in “real time.”
The most important factor is to receive national competitive bidding on your livestock. The Northern Livestock Video Sales are broadcast on Satellite and Internet. In addition, the sales are aggressively promoted nationwide in the best read livestock publications around the country and nationally recognized auctioneers’ will sell the sale. As a consignor, being involved in one of our Video events affords your herd more exposure than you could possibly gain on your own efforts. This is buying power.
Northern has on staff the best group of knowledgeable Representatives of any video sales company in America. They come with excellent qualifications and have firsthand knowledge of cattle breeding, feeding & carcass quality. You can work knowing they will personally represent you from the moment you sign the consignment form until the day your cattle are delivered. They are bonded, reputable, conscientious cattlemen with many years of experience in the industry. But most important they understand marketing at all levels. They will become your best friend!

2) More Silage to Feed. When using silage inoculants, as much as 15% of loss could be saved due to a more efficient ensiling process. This could mean that for every 100 acres ensiled we have an additional 1 to 2 acres of more feed.
“As a nutritionist, I saw a growing need for high quality forage. ” We have perfected a formula that is both effective on crops and easy to apply. Treating feed and crops with a high quality inoculant is one of the best investments you can make. With an average return rate of at 6:1, this is a gamble most would say is worth taking.

Deaton Nutrition Inc . How
25 years ago, Deaton Nutrition, Inc. started out as a one-person company doing rations to improve feeding. They have expanded to include crop specific inoculants sold in 28 states and 2 countries. Every employee has either worked on or grown up on a farm. They work with everyone from hobby farms to custom operators to thousand+ cow dairies. They also have a line of custom made applicators. “We are a customer service based company. If our customers aren’t happy, then we aren’t happy.”
A fter generations, farming is still a margins game. Profit or loss can base on a big gamble or just a little bit of bad weather. Waste is always a concern. Farmers and ranchers have done the best they can, but everyone needs help from time to time.
CanImpact Any Herd B eefmaster is a beef breed developed in America that improves beef quality and production efficiency when crossed with any other cattle breed for commercial beef production. The breed originated in Southern Texas in the late 1800’s into the early 1900’s. The Lasater family originally developed a large herd of Hereford cattle carefully selected to withstand the heat and insects of the Texas Gulf Coast region, but they were still not perfectly suited to that difficult environment. So Lasater began to experiment with incorporating Bos indicus or Zebu genetics, in the form of Gyr and Guzerat bulls from India and Nelore from Brazil. While the practice of crossbreeding was virtually unheard of at the time, they immediately saw a tremendous jump in productive traits, such as weight gain and reproductive rates. This is genetic advantage known as heterosis or hybrid vigor. By the early 1930’s, the ranch also incorporated Milking Shorthorn genetics, to augment milk production and carcass quality. They could immediately see that the three-way hybrid was far superior to the two-way crosses. The final composite ended up at roughly 50% Bos indicus and 50% Bos taurus (25% Hereford and 25% Shorthorn). As Lasater developed the breed, he also formed a unique selection philosophy known today as The Lasater Philosophy. The concept is to only select cattle for economically relevant traits, which he distilled to these Six Essential traits. It is the only breed in history to be selected only using pressure for productive traits, as opposed to aesthetics. In 1937, the herd was closed to outside genetics with continued internal development to cull low-performers and upgrade all traits together equally. By 1954 the foundation herd was recognized by USDA under the name of Beefmaster. The breed has rapidly grown around the world and has become known as the prime maternal cow for serious commercial cattlemen that appreciate their production excellence, particularly in harsh desert or tropical environments. The breed has excelled across most regions of the United States and is the leading breed of choice for commercial cattlemen in Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, Panama, Columbia and several other Latin American regions. With global demand for higher-quality beef growing geometrically, Beefmasters provide the perfect breed to cross on commercial cattle to improve production efficiency and carcass quality, while not sacrificing adaptability.
Commercial cattlemen have noted substantial economic gains from using Beefmasters to provide an average increase of 60 lbs., or more at weaning when compared with other breeds. They excel post-weaning as well, with faster weight gains, excellent feed conversion and carcass yields around 64%.

PROVEN MATERNAL.
In a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly critical, Beefmasters have repeatedly demonstrated that they are highly efficient converters of both forage and feeds into lean, tender, high-quality beef. A recent study at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) demonstrated Beefmasters dominance when compared to 18 of the most widely used beef breeds in the United States. Beefmaster Breeders United (BBU) is headquartered in Boerne, Texas. Beefmaster ranks fifth in the U.S. in terms of membership and is the largest of the American breeds. The association has over 3,000 members registering around 19,000 calves Beefmastersannually.alsoenjoy a rapidly growing international footprint, with established associations in eight countries worldwide.

A 1,760 head Cow/Calf operation in South Dakota lost 174 calves to scours in 2019. They added Farmatan to their cow’s mineral program and lost 2 calves in 2020. They had similar scours in 2021. In a 225 head Angus herd in South Dakota they have been using Farmatan in their mineral for 4 years consistently. In 2017 they treated 110 calves for Cryptosporidium scours with 25 lost; 2018 treated 6 with none lost; 2019 treated 6 with none lost; 2020 and 2021 also brought no loss to scours. Farmatan is comprised of a complex group of natural compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Farmatan works to develop lower gut wall integrity by improving tight junctions between cell walls. Farmatan contains naturally occurring organic acids that help to support immune function in the GI tract; preventing leaky gut and providing immune support to help prevent and reduce the severity of calf scours.
ach new season brings new challenges, including dealing with scours of all kinds. In the US each year billions of dollars are lost due to illness and death from scours. The impact this has on small and large operations is priceless when time and energy are also factored into the financial loss. Imogene Ingredients and our product, Farmatan, can help prevent scours in all livestock at a measurable rate.
Farmatan works for various target species: cow/calf, dairy, poultry, swine, and goats. There are many options for prevention using Farmatan products – young animal paste, mineral, calf creep, milk replacer, lick tubs, and products formulated for poultry feed. Are you asking yourself why you haven’t started incorporating Farmatan? We don’t know why either. Reach out, let’s talk about what we can do to help eliminate scours for your operation.

• Permanent sheeted adjustable alley. by John McDonald
Even though the Processor’s design is viewed as the superior portable corral on the market, John believes that there are still those who will want a smaller, more affordable system. Enter the Rawhide Original, which is a blend between the two designs he has offered throughout the years and has a bumper hitch with permanent transport wheels. The Original is only offered in the Standard and Large sizes.The Processor is offered in three sizes for the convenience of ranchers and cattle producers throughout the world and the main difference with this design is the ability to customize the corral upon ordering by including a hydraulic alley, head gate or loading chute. Whether you simply want to catch your cattle or process them on site and load them into a trailer from the pasture, you are able to do so with the Processor.
34 Ritz WESTERN FARM, RANCH, & DAIRY www.FarmRanchDairy.com The First Hydraulic Corral and still the Largest! Rawhide Processor • Pull on highway at speed limit. • Fits through any gate your pickup will. • Stable on uneven terrain. • Wheels on each panel and electric over hydraulic jack eliminates lifting— saves time. • Frame gates for sorting. Rawhide Original Rawhide Portable Corral 785.263.3436 rawhideportablecorral.com 3 Available!Sizes
In 2003 the public was introduced to his original Rawhide Portable Corral. It could be set up by one person without any lifting and it could be done quickly; yet it could also be pulled down the road at highway speeds, ensuring that no time would be wasted while catching cattle.
The design of the Processor continues to impress cattle producers with its versatility and ease of use. The permanent sheeted adjustable alley aids with working your livestock, whether it is done on site or in the field. The adjustable alley can be sized from thirty (30) inches down to sixteen (16) inches; either manually or hydraulically.
The most notable features of the Rawhide corrals are that they are easy to set up and they are easy to transport. We mean it when we say that one person can open up the corral without lifting a panel. This will continue to be the model as we move forward with our newer designs. The key is one person can handle it all by themselves. Customers can manipulate the panels so it is not just one big pen, but two, three or even four pens for sorting, as one can never have enough pens when it comes to working cattle.
John’s design was the first portable corral on the market to offer the hydraulic lift option. This has been so popular that we now offer customers the option to buy the Hydraulic Lift Kit with or without the battery so that they may upgrade existing equipment of their own. A lift kit includes the jack, power unit, solar panel and of course the option of including a battery at time of purchase.
John and his wife Mary run the family business at their manufacturing plant in Abilene, Kansas, which is the only place where a Rawhide may be purchased outside of South Texas, where we now have a dealer in Hempstead.

• Transport wheels are permanent, no sliding off the axles and rolling out of the way.
Rawhide Portable Corral To Blend The Old With The New J ohn McDonald knows a thing or two about livestock equipment after working with cattle and rodeo livestock most of his life. Knowing there had to be a better portable corral design out there; he came up with it himself.
Fast forward to 2018 and now customers have two different corrals to choose from; the Rawhide Original, throwback to the first design, or the Rawhide Processor.
