Feeding and farming ideas from New England experiments
The Massachusetts station finds fattening steers profitable if manure is valued as fertilizer and beef breeds are used, while scrub and dairy breeds fail. It urges turning off calves by 30 months, prefers corn fodders, bran and oil meal, and calls for integrating beef and dairy on the same farm. It notes Iowa conditions and promotes home grown feed to boost soil and farm income. It also discusses dairy profitability, calf rearing, and cheese aims, urging practical, non specialist farming.
