Soak rubber parts in an 18 ounce can of lye per gallon and a half of water, covering parts with three gallons of solution, then rinse or use a second set. The lye solution lasts months if kept clear, with strength indicated by soapy deposits.

Michigan State College researchers test processes to boost shelf life and quality while marketing experts seek better distribution to households.

Milk Records Show Feed Limits Boost Profit on Dairies
Agricultural economist Ray Hoglund says feeding beyond production needs is inefficient. Using Michigan farms A and B as examples he notes cows producing about 14 200 pounds of milk per cow annually with 2700 and 6500 pounds of grain respectively. He finds proper grain aligns with production and DHIA testing to determine each cow’s capacity.
