Annual Fodder And Silage Crops For Nebraska, W. E. Lyness, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The present shortage in the seed supply of all standard varieties of annual forage crops has created a special demand for information concerning their relative productivity and the possible use of substitute crops. This circular reports the yields secured from such crops at the Experiment Station, in an effort to help farmers reach a decision as to which crops should be grown this year for roughage, and which ones especially should have their seed supply increased for use in future years. Feed value and production costs as well as yields should be taken into consideration by the grower.
