control
Rape-seed is an oilseed crop which
has a market in Japan It is a small
seeded member o f the mustard fami
ly and requires early seeding not
always easy in this country Yield
potential on ground which raises 40
bushels o f wheat is about 1200 lbs
The present market ranges from 5 07
to 5 10 lb Costs of production are
about the same as wheat
The benefits o f rapeseed are ero
sion control, weed control, (it's a
broad leaf and pros ales an opportum
ty to knock out some grassv weeds
like chcatgrass). and a proven
market
The disadvantages are stand
establishment (small seeded plants
are hard to grow early in the year)
and price (the price fluctuates a great
deal, and 5 07 lb is prctiy low)
Triticale is a cross between wheat
and rye It represents an attempt to
combine the high yield and high pro
tein o f wheat with the hroad adap
tability and higher lysine levels o f
rye.
As a crop, it presents no pniblcms
for fanners rhe benefits o f this crop
are that it can be seeded and
harsested iust like wheal It yields
a little lower than wheat (about HIT )
and bushel weights jrc lighter (about
48 lbs).
There is no established market for
triticale. however, and that is its
chief disadv antage It is a good feed,
with good protein content It has
been testcxl very widely on poultry
with good results But as a feed
grain, it must compete with com.
barley, soy meal, and any other teed
a feeder can buy And com is sell
tng for 580 ton these days W ith a
yield potential for triticale of a ton
per acre, that's a poor return for
farmers
The alternatives to these two corps
arc planting a green manure crop or
planting nothing and watching the
soil wash away Perhaps the best
solution is to form a grower's group,
one large enough to guarantee
enough triticale at a competitive
price that a large feed lot would be
interested
