NOTES

I was talking to Mr. Hodgson
of the Experiment Station the
other day. He showed me some
brome grass plots that really told
something on the management of
grass stands.
On brome grass plots cut about
the 10th of September last year,
there was a winter kill of about
75%. These were compared to
those cut on the 20th of August.
In other words, you can knock
out a good stand in a short time
by too late cutting or grazing.
September 1st is probably the
deadline. The vigor of the stand
cut late was very poor even un
der heavy fertilization. The
growth was not half that of the
stand cul early the fall before.
If your brome stand is not snap
ping out pf it this summer under
fertilization, it was probably beat
too badly last fall. Maybe you
wonder about brome? You can’t
graze it early and you can’t graze
it late without knocking it out.
It’s still the highest producing
forage or pasture crop we have.
If you want to get best produc
tion, you’ve got to practice good
management.
Take the weediest piece on the
place. Use it for early grazing and
defer the good pasture until June
1st. Then rotate grazing on the
good pasture fields until Septem
ber 1st. Work up the weedy pas
ture and seed it to oats and peas
in July. Start grazing it on Sep
tember 1st. You’ll find a lot of
good fall grazing on it then. The
next year, seed this field back to
brome, or whatever works out
best in your rotation. The next
most weedy or poor field is then
in line for the same treatment.
Mr. Hodgson thinks this would
give best forage utilization on our
