Advice on drought preparedness for dairies and early corn planting
The author urges dairymen to prepare for drought by securing extra feed and suggests planting a small amount of early corn such as Early Boynton Marblehead or Minnesota. Early corn can be fed to cows or hogs, yields two ears per stalk in rows three feet apart, matures by mid July, and supports fall feeding with pumpkins planted in every third row. One acre of early corn per eight cows provides about twenty days of feed.
