Consider Energy & Protein In Drought Supplementation

Justin Waggoner, Kansas State University beef systems specialist There's no easy way to manage through a drought. Some of the key elements to successfully managing a cattle operation through a drought are managing number of head/day; evaluating both short- and long-term outcomes associated with decisions; and not being afraid to think outside the box. Thankfully, drought is not the norm and typically resides outside the box. Traditionally, when cow-herd supplementation is discussed, we focus on meeting the protein needs of the cow, with a goal of maximizing forage intake by supplementing protein, the most limiting nutrient in the available forages. However, this year, drought has severely limited the supply of both grazed and harvested forages in many regions. In this scenario, both energy and protein are limiting cow performance and, therefore, supplements should be evaluated on both their energy and protein contributions to the nutrition program. When eval

An odd thought about ethanol

At least in one aspect, the renewable fuel should have quelled the debunkers. The cars and pickups you drive are running longer than ever. Recently I was having dinner with a few farmers and we got to talking about ethanol - they are members of their state's commodity groups and they support ethanol. And I was sharing how whenever I write about ethanol, I will get a note or comment from someone who hates the fuel. It doesn't happen every time (and ethanol haters are welcome to comment below) but it does happen. After all these years of burning E10 (or higher) in our gasoline, I still have people claiming the fuel is a disaster for cars and longevity, etc. And for very old cars that could very well be true, but it sure isn't for newer cars. I'll share an interesting fact. During the Detroit Auto Show - or the North American International Auto Show - on a radio interview one executive noted that while car sales are rising again, well past the slump of 2008, there

Making money on farm data

Cloud data systems offer many ways to collect information from your farm. For 2015, at least one player that’s moving from beta testing to commercial use is offering a different take on the value of the data collected: They’ll pay you. Farmobile LLC , founded and financed by Jason Tatge, is a data collection system that plugs into the ISOBUS connection in your machine. It grabs information including speed, RPM, acres covered, maintenance data and more, and sends it to a Farmobile cloud. “There’s also real-time information fleet management,” says Tatge, who shows a sprayer in the field live. “You can see his speed and the engine rpm as he operates, and you can see where he’s spraying.” A central console on a tablet gathers information from the machines in the field in real-time. The data is stored for later review, or to share with other software or advisers. Tatge, who founded Farms Technology and later sold it to DuPont Pioneer, saw a different opportunity in this cloud-b
