Ford Boom Poses Test to Old Parties in 1920

Increase Present Low Yield of Milk
The USDA reports the average U S dairy cow yields about 4000 pounds of milk with 160 pounds of butterfat. Doubling the present average could meet demand with fewer cows and lower costs. High producing cows yield much higher income over feed costs, while reducing production of low yielding cows boosts efficiency.
