Broadcaster Press 5 August 2, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com Forage Options When Dealing With Drought And Hail Stressed Crops BROOKINGS, S.D. - With nearly 60 percent of South Dakota impacted by drought and now some fields receiving hail damage, many growers are faced with decisions on how to best utilize drought and hail stressed crops. "Stressors such as drought can increase nitrate levels in forage crops, resulting in a need to change how they are managed," explained Adele Harty, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist. "Forages which have hail damage may no longer be viable for grain crops, therefore utilizing them for a forage crop may be necessary." Harty added that depending on the severity of the drought or hail there are options available for use of stressed crops as forage. "Evaluate the crop to determine which option is the most economical and will give the most opportunities to utilize forage from the crop in the best manner possible," Harty said. Options, in likely order of use from least to most damaged crops include: 1.Test the crop for nitrates to determine if it can safely be used as feed for livestock. "SDSU Extension has a Nitrate Quick Test for Forages that will give a positive or negative result for nitrates," she said. If positive, the sample needs to be sent to an analytical laboratory for a quan- titative analysis to determine tle that the forage is fed to risk. If negative, nitrates are may be necessary. not present and it is safe to 2.

Clock, Sperry AUCTION SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 2016 How to Teach Children to Give Back to the Community the fermentation process will convert a portion of the nitrate into ammonia, thereby decreasing the overall risk, however it will not completely remove nitrate. It is critical that it is ensiled properly to ensure the best environment for fermentation. "A rule of thumb is that 20-50 percent of the nitrate will be converted to ammonia if the process is done correctly," Harty said. "Always test the ensiled feed before feeding to livestock to ensure that nitrate levels are appropriate for the class of livestock." 5. In a worst case scenario, where the crop is too damaged or too high in nitrates, consider spraying it out and leaving it for soil cover and reseed directly into it when you get moisture. Precautions need to be taken when feeding forages that contain nitrates. Details about safety levels and utilizing feeds within different ranges of nitrate content are outlined in "Nitrate Poisoning of Livestock: Causes and Prevention" which can be found on iGrow.org. To answer specific questions contact Harty at 605394-1722 or adele.harty@ sdstate.edu, or Ken Olson, Professor & SDSU Extension Beef Specialist at 605-3942236 or Kenneth.olson@sdstate.edu.
