State Agricultural College at Bozeman releases expert articles on Montana tillage methods funded by state and federal governments. The papers describe experimental results and urge readers to save the articles for reference.
Montana economists cite the U S Department of Agriculture outlook based on 43 000 farmer reports. The 1924 plan shows normal production but high costs and labor shortages, with less expansion in dairy and hogs, increased corn acreage, and cautious wheat planting amid foreign demand and domestic consumption.
Grace Koningen, a 10 year old Holstein cow owned by Montana State College, set a world yearly milk production record of 32,294.4 pounds and 1,314.87 pounds of butter as certified by the Holstein-Friesian association. The seven year period included a seven day test showing strong daily production, with feed efficiency and diverse rations described. Grace traces strong lineage through Nora Koningen and Wisconsin Bess Chief, and previously earned top marks among college owned cows.
Grace Koningen, a massive Holstein-Friesian cow weighing over 1900 pounds in condition, won grand championships at the Midland Empire and State fairs in 1922. The herd includes notable bulls headed by a former Montana Holstein-Friesian president and kept by local owners. Charley Porter, the loyal herdsman, credits Grace with guiding the herd’s success, joking she even detects his chewing tobacco changes.
