ly recognized as livestock

tional breed shows for six

Wet weather
e>
slows operations
OVERTON-Wet weather
hs slowed some agricultural
operations in East Texas,
particularly field work. Pro-
ducers are anxious to get
planting done and to begin
hay harvest. Growth of
forages in hay meadows ha
been slow but is beginning to
increase.
Dairymen should begin
putting in their summer tem-
porary pastures, according
to Dr. Dwight Vines, Exten-
sion area dairy specialist.
Hybrid millets and sorghum-
sudan crosses have been
good producers in East
Texas. Vines says that

dairymen using sorghum-
sudan crosses should be
aware of the possibility of
prussic acid poisoning under
stress conditions. These con-
ditions can be caused by ex-
tremely dry weather occurr-
ing later in the year.
Begin grazin milletwhen it
is 15 to 18 inches tall. Wait
for sorghum sudans to reach
20 to 24 inches high before
grazing. This practice allows
the plants to form a good
root system and be capable
of fast recovery from pro-
perly managed grazing.
Vines also advises
dairymen and other hay pro-
ducers to get their baling
equipment in top shape
before the busy hay harvest
season begins.Supplies
should be located or pur-
chased in advance. Proper
planning and preparation
can prevent costly down
time during the peak of the
harvest season.
