Two year trial by Canton Agricultural and Technical College and Cornell University compared kernelless corn silage, regular corn silage, and alfalfa hay for Holstein cows. Results indicate silage types affected dry matter and forage intake while overall milk production varied by individual cows.
Cornell University animal scientist Prof. H F Tyrrell reports that adding a five percent solution of formic acid to high moisture silage makes it palatable and yields feeding value equal to or better than heat dried hay. The study, with Prof. J T Reid, fed formic acid treated silage to Holstein cows in early lactation, showing maintained weight and peak milk production. Weather and drying conditions no longer limit silage harvest.
Ithaca scientists led by Prof. Robert B. Musgrave conduct a three year study to determine if higher photosynthetic rate boosts crop yield. They note that yield depends on energy used for growth and not solely on photosynthesis.
Cornell plant breeders unveil Yorkstar, a white winter wheat variety seven inches shorter than peers. They predict 45 bushels per acre and a 10 percent to 5 bushels yield advantage, with potential to replace Genesee and Avon. Researchers also explore photosynthesis rates to forecast yields and guide breeding efforts.
Cornell agronomist Professor Reeshon Feuer reports a 14 year study showing liming acid soils yields strong returns. Four tons of ground limestone per acre produced an average 3.1 tons of hay per acre annually in the first seven years and 3.2 tons in the next seven with lime.
In 1967 more than six billion half pints of milk were consumed by National School Lunch and special Milk Programs. Donated supplies included 126 million pounds of nonfat dry milk, 124 million pounds of butter, and 108 million pounds of cheese for distribution to schools and charitable institutions.
