The root crops require more labor than corn in culture, harvesting and feeding. Less of the work can be done by labor-saving machinery. It is for this reason chiefly that they are the more expensive source of suc- culent food. Roots have the advantage in that they may be grown in small quantities for small numbers of livestock when it would not be practicable to have a silo. They also fit well into crop rotations and the tillage required by them leaves the soil in excellent condition for crops ...that follow. Utilization and Feeding Value. — The root crops are best utilized for dairy cattle, especially during the winter period. The various roots differ considerably in their percentage of dry matter and feeding value. Sugar 1 Courtesy of Webb Publishing Company, St. Paul, Minn. Warburton.
