Dairy cow numbers fall to 26 year low in west
Western corn belt dairy cattle counts have reached their lowest level in 26 years and national totals are down as well. Analysts expect the decline to end in 1949 with stabilization and potential rebound in the coming year.
Grain feeding boosts dairy cow production this year
The ratio of feed prices to dairy product prices supports feeding dairy cows grain to sustain high output. The season favors producers who prioritize grain-based rations to maximize milk yield and efficiency.
Colder Weather Raises Hazards for Farm Machinery Use
Colder conditions drive farmers to layer clothing and mittens, risking entanglement in corn pickers, movable gears, belts, and chains. Snag risks increase, leading to injuries as gear parts grab fabric and loose sleeves.
Advent season sermon and church events noted
The Methodist church schedules morning worship at 10, Sunday school at 11, and Youth Fellowship at 7 30. A special Advent sermon begins the season. Members urged to attend the next five Sundays. West Union quarterly conference set for Monday night November 28 with Dr Dill in charge and luncheon served by the Woman's Society.
