D. B. Dixon Averages 15 Tons
Silage Per Acre on His Farm
D. B. Dixon of Starrsville in
Newton County really grows
silage in the large way, accord
ing to Dr. Wayne Tennille,
agronomist of the University
of Georgia Cooperative Exten
aion Service.
Mr. Dixon, who is a dairy
man, says he needs that extra
feed to carry his cattle through
the winter.
Averaging better than 15 tons
of silage per acre on 120 acres
of Corn and millet silage is
quate an accomplishment says
Dr. Tennille, but that is what
Mr. Dixon did in 1960 and has
been doing for several years.
“This good job of silage pro
duction,” Dr. Tennille contin
ued, “is done by following soil
test lime and fertilizer recom
mendations very closely. By
toil sampling and using the
correct rate and ratio of phos
phate and potash and up to 150
pounds of actual nitrogen per
acre, Mr. Dixon is able to keep
production at a high level.”
Mr. Dixon is a member of
the Newton County Dairy Herd
Improvement Association. Last
year his 66 cow herd produced
an average of 10.429 pounds of
milk per cow. He fed five and
one-half tons of silage per cow.
County Agent Ed Hunt says
that Mr. Dixon believes in Ex
tension Service recommenda
tions and follows sound ferti
lization practices on his pas
tures and cotton.
