Agricultural expert G. A. Williams of Indiana advocates conditioning cows on corn to improve milk yield.

Water and slow grain increases follow calving, with hormone release peaking at freshening and tapering as calving progresses.

Other sunflowers were tested with varying bloom and leaf conditions to compare forage quality and dryness at cut.
