Harvest timing and alfalfa yields impact milk production
Michigan MSU Extension warns delaying alfalfa harvest from June 1 to June 20 can cut milk production value by 30 to 35 dollars per ton. With 2 tons per acre, loss reaches 60 to 70 dollars per acre, urging timely harvest and attention to leaf preservation, drying weather, and variety selection for quality hay and higher milk output.

Milk Tester Visits Farm Please Cull Sick Cattle
LaVonne Lambert writes to a milk tester about a tough day on her farm. The best cow, Old Bessie, is failing and likely to be culled after producing six hundred pounds. Old Molly has milk fever, and Daisy may have a better year with proper care and feeding guidance from the tester.
