Merced County Sees Surge of Rice Wealth This Season
About 1.65 million dollars in new wealth is expected in Merced county this season due to a rapid rise in rice farming.

Pure-bred Bulls Show Wide Variation in Milk and Butterfat
A study from the College of Agriculture at New Brunswick cites records from New Jersey associations and the U.S. Bureau of Dairy Industry, showing wide variation in pure-bred dairy bulls' transmission of milk and butterfat. One third of bulls increase herd production, one third maintain it, and one third lower it. proper selection and retention of proven sires is urged, with swapping to prevent inbreeding and the goal of five to six generations yielding every cow as a heavy milker.

Fodder Corn as Dairy Cow Feed
Fodder corn makes good feed for dairy cows when a silo is not available and it outperforms Timothy hay for milk production. Waste depends on stalk thickness and curing. thin stalks yield less waste, coarse stalks up to 20 30 percent may remain. Cutter processing reduces waste to near total consumption, while properly filled silos minimize waste to top loss.
Udder Diseases Caused by Germs Entering Teat
udder diseases stem from germs entering the teat canal through residual milk. Proper milking removes the last drop and washing teats after each milking helps prevent infection. Better udders are more prone to infection, so diligent hygiene is essential.
Dairy Feeding Facts and Storage Cautions for Dairies
The notice urges liberal feeding as key to profitable dairying and advises against feeding frozen silage to dairy cattle. Calves are picky and should not be given hay or feed that has been nose-worn. It cites sour milk as a major risk from unsterilized utensils and emphasizes proper handling to prevent low-grade products.
