Spring is almost on us, and we
the folks at Byron Seed are very excited about a new growing
season. Byron Seed specializes in marketing forage seeds that
“make a difference” to the grower. The difference we are trying
to make is an increase to the producer’s bottom line. That
takes various shapes: 1) Increase profitability, 2) improved
herd health, longevity and persistence, 3) production
efficiencies – (more meat/milk from less feed) and 4) more yield
– matching correctly, forages to conditions (soil, fertility,
zone, etc.). more

Frost
seeding clovers into pastures and hay fields is easy for low
cost forage production and to improve pasture and hay quality.
The key management used to maintain clovers are: soil fertility,
proper harvest, and occasional reseeding. Frost seeding is
inexpensive and, when done at the correct time and managed
properly, very successful. Frost seeding should be made between
late January and late February when there is little snow and the
soil surface is freezing and thawing.

Higher and
more stable milk components, healthier rumens, reduced foot
problems, little or no DA’s, lower vet bills, less culling,
improved longevity, more net profit, and fewer day-to-day
hassles, are just some of the benefits that believers in
high-forage rations consistently report. Sounds like a
dairyman’s dream. If you want to achieve this dream, you need
to be feeding a high forage ration.
