The conference committee trimmed the administration appropriation to about 14.25 million dollars yearly for the new biennium, a compromise between Senate and House figures. The session ran costly due to more staff, printing, and supplies, with 1,086 bills introduced and 200 to 250 enacted. The farm-to-market road bill faced gubernatorial displeasure.

The piece discusses poultry protein value, water use by crops, cattle supply in 1987, and guidance on grazing, fencing, and disease prevention. It covers strawberry rotation, soil health through green manures, and sow feeding strategies, plus mare and foal care, forage rations, and spring pasture seeding with grasses and clover for steady pasturage.
Adequate Pasture Management for High Producing Cows
The article advises delaying pasture grazing until bluegrass reaches 5 to 6 inches. It warns that sharply cutting grain for high producing dairy cows at turnout can cause a winter production slump, as cows cannot meet milk and body maintenance demands on grass alone. Gradual transition from winter to pasture feeding is essential to ease digestion and avoid grassy odors in milk.
