Green Chop Can Be Economical Use of Forage for Some Dairy Herds
Agricultural economist K H Myers notes forage harvested by grazing animals is not always the most economical feed. Trials show 25 to 40 percent of feed can be wasted when cows graze, depending on pasture quality, with mechanical harvest proving advantageous in lush growth. The leading cow, a Grade Holstein at the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station, belonged to Dean Roland.
