SILT-COVERED FORAGE



Greetings. Kevin Murphy, a district agriculturist in the Okanagan Valley 
of British Columbia, has a beef cow/calf farmer with a barn full of hay 
that is coated with a fine layer of silt and clay as the result of 
flooding of a local river this spring. He is asking what impact this will 
have on intake and animal performance. I recall seeing material that dealt 
with something similar when Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, but I can't 
put my hands on it. Can anyone provide any thoughts on this? Thanks. 
Please reply to me and I will pass along to Kevin.
