Demand Raises Need for Better Dairy Cows in Oklahoma
In Stillwater Oklahoma August 30 The American Dairy Science Association head Harry W Cave says rising dairy demand can boost production by 50 percent through proper feeding.

Cave ties higher prices and Britain shipments to renewed emphasis on dairy farming. Tishomingo Oklahoma August 3 Robert Mickleton leaves NYA project to work for a Hartford Connecticut manufacturer.
