Restock The Hay Pile Or Raise $13 Soybeans? Why not both?
T
he dry summer and fall of last year and the bitter cold this winter have combined to make hay a valuable commodity. This has made many consider putting cropland to a temporary hay crop, such as sorghum-sudangrass or teff. At the same time, the explosion in China soybean purchases has made raising soybeans a very attractive proposition as well. It is nice for a change to be faced with actual profitable choices! But when faced with two attractive choices, why not choose both?
and energy? Many people are using this very economical means of wintering livestock now with great success. In the fall, you can add yet another forage crop, drilled right into the living stubble of the summer mix as soon as it is hayed or grazed off in late summer. At first glance, this seems to doom the new seedlings to certain failure, as they are competing with the regrowth of the established summer crop for moisture and light. But it doesn’t work that way. The transpiration of moisture from the regrowth of the summer crop cools the soil, dropping the temperature as much as 30 degrees relative to the air temperature. The cool-season seedlings need only 10% of the moisture at 80 degrees as they do at 100 degrees, so drilling a cool-season pasture mix of oats, triticale, rye, ryegrass, turnips, radishes and peas right into unkilled stubble of a summer annual mix can actually increase the survival of the seedlings. After a hard freeze has killed and thoroughly dried the summer plants, they can be grazed off right along with the green growth of the cool-season mix, saving on winter hay needs and providing much higher quality nutrition than hay. Besides, you also save the cost of termination! Best of all, the growing of crops in rapid succession provides those vital soil microbes a continual flow of nutritious root exudates for improving soil structure and water-holding capacity for better crops in the future.
One thing the cover crop movement has taught us is that growing crops in rapid sequence does not exhaust soil, rather it feeds the soil microbes that increase soil productivity. It is entirely possible to plant a crop of oats, peas or spring triticale (or a mix of all three) in March and have a hay crop made by May, in plenty of time to plant soybeans. Not only can the hay crop make as much revenue as we typically expect from a bean crop alone but growing the hay can create a nice stubble to control soil erosion and improve water infiltration and rooting depth and may offer weed control benefits as well. Spring triticale is an unfamiliar crop to a lot of people, but it is a real rising star in the forage and cover crop world. A cross between rye and spring wheat, it has hybrid vigor compared to either parent. Compared to spring oats, it can yield much higher, and is more competitive against weeds. The quality drops after heading relative to oats, but most people prefer to bale in boot stage to leave as much growing season for the following crop as they can. Peas add both additional Contact us Today! yield and additional protein to the mix. Or maybe you would prefer to focus on hay and forgo the beans altogether. In that case, why Every operation is not grow two hay crops rather than one? You different. That is why can raise the oat/pea/spring triticale, then regenerate God follow with a summer forage crop as well.

If your pastures are beat up after last summer’s drought, you could pasture this crop in late summer and give your perennial pastures a much-needed chance to restore vigor and grow deeper roots to weather the next drought. And, if spending all summer baling hay and spending all winter feeding hay sounds less than appealing to you, how about planting a crop that can be stockpiled and grazed without all that work, such as a crop of brown midrib sterile sorghum, with some companion crops for added protein

Economize on Equiment Costs with a New Kit from Fehr Cab Interiors Co
A
s new tractors continue to be offered in the ag-market, the cost of new equipment has soared, and it can be hard to budget for upgrading to the latest and the greatest. By installing a new cab interior, it gives you the feeling of having an updated tractor for the next growing season while providing a higher resale value in the future when you do decide to update your equipment line. Trim your spending budget by making a low cost investment on a new cab interior to keep your equipment in the best of shape and looking like new. If the time does come to update or trade in, you want to get top dollar out of your trade in. By installing a Fehr Cab Interiors kit, it gives the purchaser the assurance that you cared about your tractor. By freshening up the cab, the value of the tractor can increase up to 15%. If you have a tractor over 15 years old, the interior has started to show its age and is falling apart. The vinyl gets saggy, and the foam lining in the cab loses all acoustical properties and starts to harden and deteriorate. Fehr Cab has done testing to prove a significant difference in decibels when comparing new and old acoustical foam panels. By replacing the acoustical foam, it silences the high pitched sound decibels that cause damage to your hearing.

Improvements are consistently introduced and customer comments are taken seriously. Over the past 25 years, we have learned to listen to our customers’ requests and concerns to contribute to continued quality and affordability to stay competitive. To make a difference in sound control in your cab, contact Fehr Cab Interiors Co. anytime for information or to order. Fehr Cab Interiors Co. 10116 N. 1900 E. Rd.

Fehr Cab is excited to introduce the “Anyone Can Install” cab kits to their ever-expanding product line. The John Deere 2 wheel drive 30, 40, 50, 55/60 series Sound Guard cabs are available finished onto pre-formed plastic for much easier installation! Also, for the sound guard cabs, the replacement plastic fender fronts and air vent bezels are now available. The IH 86 & IH-88 headliners are also available as a pre-formed “Anyone Can Install” new kit. These new panels will save you up to 4 hours in installation time and you will no longer have the nuisance of having wrinkles develop and adhesive drying too quickly.
Most farmers can install these parts into his or her tractor, using Fehr Cab do-it-yourself kits for over 700 different model cabs. Fehr Cab kits are available with pre-cut, pre-sewn, preformed panels and complete instructions and whatever is necessary to install kits. Fehr Cab strives to replicate the original vinyl, foam thickness, quality custom fit and overall appearance in all interiors offered. The new interior kits make the cab atmosphere so much more pleasant, clean, and quiet. Fehr Cab installs these interior kits in local customers’ cabs to insure that each part fits and every kit is easy to install. To see how easy our kits are to install, check out our “installation videos” at www.fehrcab.com. Quality materials and superior service is what makes a Fehr Cab kit the best value.

PROVEN ON THE RANCH: A TEXAS CASE STUDY
THE SILENT PROFIT-KILLERS: RECLAIMING YOUR LAND FROM THE GROUND UP
Every operator knows that a single rodent can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you even finish your morning coffee. Whether it’s a shorted-out wiring harness in a tractor, contaminated feed, or a gopher-ruined hay field, "small" pests create massive overhead.
In the farm, ranch, and dairy industries, rodents aren't just a nuisance—they are a tax on your hard work. At Kaput Products®, we provide a specialized arsenal for the unique challenges of Western agriculture. When repellents and hardware-store traps fail, the pros turn to Kaput.
ORDER ONLINE
Don't just take our word for it. Scott W. from Texas recently shared how Kaput saved his equipment after other methods fell short: "A widespread increase in the population of rats and mice in our area resulted in damage to electrical wiring in our tractor. Repellents were worthless. Snap traps and glue boards provided some help, but the severity of the problem required a more effective solution. Kaput Rodent & Tick Bait® has proven itself to be that solution. Since we began using it in bait stations last month, there has been a dramatic decrease in the rodent population. They clearly prefer it to the various baits we have used... and there is no evidence that they have been on our tractor."
STOP FEEDING THE PESTS AND START PROTECTING YOUR BOTTOM LINE.
Your operation runs on results, not excuses. You need pest control that remains stable and effective across your entire property, regardless of the environment. Kaput delivers the consistency required to protect your investment from the ground up.
Kaput Combo Baits: The "One-Two Punch" for biosecurity. These baits kill the rodent and the fleas living on them, preventing the spread of parasites to your livestock and pets.
Kaput Gopher Bait: Formulated for maximum palatability, this grain-based bait is designed for underground application to stop mound-building and root damage in pastures and fields.
Mole Gel: Moles don't eat grain. Our specialized Mole Gel mimics their natural food sources and is injected directly into active runways for fast, targeted results.
Adios: When you're dealing with "bait-shy" populations, Adios provides the lethal efficacy needed to clear out stubborn infestations that other products miss.
Rodent & Tick Bait: As Scott discovered, this is the ultimate defense for equipment and livestock areas. It eliminates rodents while targeting the ticks they carry, reducing disease pressure across your property.

Tractor Mounted Snowblowers Clear the Way in Record Time
D
epending on where you live and how much stock you put in The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the coming winter could be a snow-filled one. While heavy snowfall brings much needed moisture, moving it and making areas passable creates its own set of challenges. For light snows and smaller areas, bucket loaders and skid steers can get the job done, but when you live in an area where deep snow and high winds are the norm, it may be time to consider a tractor-mounted snowblower. Clay Zimmerman of Evanston, Wyoming bought a HitchDoc HDS8205 two winters ago. He and his wife own High Uinta Pack Goats, the only pack goat rental service in the country. “Where I live, it’s all rolling hills and normal snowfall starts at 6 feet deep. The gravel road is only maintained by my neighbor and myself.” For years, Clay’s neighbor
cleared the snow with a bucket mounted to his tractor and it took him all day. That just wasn’t efficient enough, so, Clay started looking into options for a snowblower to mount to his tractor. “I looked at a dozen brands and even bought one before I bought the HitchDoc, but it wasn’t heavy duty enough.” After more research, Clay opted for the HDS8205 from HitchDoc. He mounted it to the front 3 point hitch of his 140 horsepower tractor so he wouldn’t have to look backwards the whole time and connected it to the hydraulics so he could control it with the joystick. Now Clay clears the snow for him and his neighbor in about an hour. Clay says his snowblower has enough power to throw snow 100 feet. Reflecting on his purchase, Clay said, “it’s been a life saver. It’s the best purchase I could’ve made.”
Because There are NO Snow Days on the Farm “It’s the best purchase I could’ve made.” - Clay Zimmerman, Evanston, WY

Mighty Giant Updates Design On PTO Models - About Jones Manufacturing Since 1929 Ceemer, NE, June 2026 – Jones Manufacturing,
manufacturer of the Mighty Giant tub grinders, is excited to announce the release of the redesigned PTO tub grinders, replacing the 1015 and 2015 models are the new 1050 and 2050 models. Innovative design changes were implemented for enhanced user experience and improved grinder performance. The Mighty Giant model 1050 and model 2050 overall weights were reduced to decrease standard wear and tear on equipment parts and increase operational speed. Our remote control was redesigned to be more ergonomical; but still includes the standard features of start/stop, elevator raise/ lower, elevator fold/unfold, the 2050 model remote operations also includes tub raise/lower and elevator swing right/left. The overrun clutch to power down the tub grinder safely without damaging the tractor PTO was previously an add-on option but is now included with the standards features for the model 1050 tub grinder. Redesigned take-up bearing adjusters, which are more user-friendly, were added to the elevator along with a temperature control cooling fan to regulate fluid temperatures, delivering consistent air flow to prevent overheating. Durable, extended wear double laid out screens are standard, allowing the grinder operator to easily change screens without needing to determine the front or back edge of the screen; therefore saving time when switching screen sizes. On the 1050 model, the gear pump was replaced with a hydrostatic pump with internal flow controls for precise control of flow and optimum performance despite grinding capacities. The Mighty Giant model 2050, the largest capacity PTO tub grinder on the market, now has a Transfluid® fluid coupler for easier start/stop operations and added protection for the tractor PTO.

Jones Manufacturing has delivered high
capacity, durable and innovative grinders to ag
producers and industrial grinding customers across the United States, Panama, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Columbia, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and South America. Operating our own grinding services gives us daily hands-on experience to gain user insight. This experience in conjunction with maintaining a long-lasting relationship with our customers is the reason Mighty Giant was the first tub grinder manufacturer in the industry to offer a hydraulically opening tub, electronic governor, and the addition of the hydrafork, a heavy-duty grapple, to our trailer mount and truck mount units.
