Optimum production of feedstuffs with optimum dry matter
conversion of feed to beef. |
 |
Place a higher than previous emphasis upon crop variety
selection, nutrient content and nutrient preservation characteristics of feeds to be
grown. Consult with seed dealers and their in-house plant breeders regarding these
matters. Seek data on nutrient content, digestibility, nutrient preservation
characteristics, and the ease and cost of post-harvest processing of all harvested plant
materials. |
 |
Keep informed on research in crop varieties; watch for major
advances in the area of plant research in the near future, largely influenced by the tools
of biotechnology. Soon it will be possible to design plants with greater precision. |

Selection of various varieties best suited to the
application based on years of growing and production knowledge. |
