Wheat quality, low test weight corn, tough haying conditions; those were just a few (of the many) topics addressed at the 6th Annual Central Dakota Ag Day at the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center. Carrington, North Dakota farmer Kevin Wolsky, who spoke at the event, has finished soybean harvest, but a large chunk of corn acres remain in Foster County fields. “Mainly because it’s wet,” says Wolsky. “This spring will be a challenge as well. We’ve never left the fields in this sort of shape in the fall.” It has also been a trying year for cattle producers, as feed supplies are short in some cases. CREC livestock systems specialist Karl Hoppe says producers have two options, either start selling cattle or find feed. “There’s still standing corn in our part of the state. So, if your unsure about feed it’s not too late to put up dry, chopped corn, earlage or freeze corn for grain and feed it that way.” Hoppe says adding low quality wheat or light weight corn to rations are viable options.
