Preserve Nutrients in Hay
Proper storage of hay between harvest and feeding is critical for
preserving nutrients in the hay and assuring that you have high quality
hay to feed your cattle when they need it most during the winter
months. The nutrient requirements of cattle are more likely to be met
with quality hay that is well stored, according to Mark L. Wahlberg,
Extension Animal Scientist, Virginia Tech.
Small square bales, weighing from 40 to 70 pounds, should normally
be stored in a barn or other structure with a roof to minimize dry
matter losses. Due to the size, shape, and weight of large round
bales, storage options are often limited and these may be stored
outside. Read more.... |
Master Gardner Tips
Winterizing your Landscape
Living in Texas, you never know what to expect from Mother Nature. Being prepared for our extreme weather is the best solution!
One simple thing you can do for your landscape plants is to provide
a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch. Mulching is beneficial year round but
during the colder periods it provides a layer of insulation for the
roots. Secondly, water your landscape well before a cold spell. A
drought stressed plant is more susceptible to freeze damage. Thirdly,
for more tender plants, purchase frost cloth for extra protection.
Remember that many frost tender plants can be damaged even when the
temperatures are in the high 30's. Frost cloth is a fabric which adds
3 to 4 degrees of warmth. Cover the plant completely allowing the
edges to come all the way to the ground.
This is also a great time to start planning changes or addition to your landscape in preparation for the spring and summer.
