Three times a day milking pays for Baldwin farmer
Bill Juen of Baldwin switches his 90 cow herd to three daily milkings to cut debt and finance a new silo. Since March 6 production rose about 650 pounds a day, adding an estimated 15 000 to 18 000 dollars gross this year while a hired man and extra milkers share the workload.

Farmer Mulls Three Times Daily Milking Boosts Output
John Afdahl of St. Croix County raced through a winter trial of three daily milkings in 1974. He found a 20 percent rise in yield, especially from top cows, with milkers at 7 am 3 pm and 11 pm. Though the extra shift increased work it paid off, prompting thoughts to adopt three daily milkings for high producers to shorten debt and raise income.
