Leonard Standard Subject Os
Progressive Farmer Article
EDITOR S NOTE: A story • ■ ,
bout Leonard Standard, a dairy
farmer of Newton County, ii
carried in the September iisue
of The Progressive Farmer, e
Southern farm magatine.
The story is written by J. R.
Johnson and is titled. “Big
Dairying on Little Farm." John- I
son tells how Standard success- I
fitly manages to have a good
living on a small farm.
Standard's farm won first
place in Northwest Georgia's
Grasing and Feed Contest in
1956. the magasine story tells.
"Leonard Standard, dairy farm
er of Newton County, Ga., be
lieves that a good living and a
small acreage can be successful
partners. Mr. Standard has a 99-
acre farm with 61 acres in perma
nent pastures. For hay he has 25 ;
acres. Fifteen of these are in al
falfa and 10 in Sericea lespedeza.
"Mr. Standard's farm won first I
place in Northwest Georgia’s j
Grazing and Feed Contest in
1956. Intensive production helped |
bring him the award.
“Twenty acres of oats, ryegrass,
and crimson clover furnish win
ter grazing for 42 head of dairy
cows. This winter grazing is irri
gated when first planted for a
sure stand and fall grazing. The
winter grazing is seeded about I
Sept. 15, on Bermuda sod. It is
fertilized with 800 pounds of ।
4-12-12 at seeding, and topdressed *
with 74 pounds of nitrogen per |
acre. Grazing begins in Novem
; ber.
"The 15 acres of alfalfa furnish
-1 ed 75 tons of high-quality hay last
year. Lime needs are met on this
alfalfa, according to soil tests. The
alfalfa gets 1,000 pounds of a
high-analysis fertilizer each year
and 25 pounds of borax per acre.
It can be irrigated as needed.
"Five acres of oats alone arg
grazed and then either harvested
for grain or hay. These Victor
grain 43-93 oats are fertilized
with 500 pounds of 4-12-12 and 60
pounds of nitrogen per acre.
“The 10 acres of Sericea lespe
deza are overseeded with ryegrass
! for winter grazing. The sericea
furnishes summer grazing for
| growing heifers.
Starr millet is grown for extra
j summer grazing. The millet gets
600 pounds of 4-12-12 and 30
pounds of nitrogen per acre.
Browntop millet furnishes graz
l mg and grass hay. It is fertilized
i the same as Starr millet.
“All annual crops are grown on
j permanent pastures except the
oats for grain. This makes for two
or more crops per year.
Mr. Standard usually has about
i 12 heifers one or two years old
and 12 to 15 calves Jess than one
year old for replacements.
Forty acres are rented on a
nearby farm. This tract has 15
acres in sericea overseeded with
' oats, and 25 acres in oats alone.
The entire 40 acres of oats is
saved for gram.
Mr. Standard has a sound, well
planned program. Very little feed
is bought. He can stay in business
through almost any kind of times.
