Associate County Agent Joseph H. Way of Chester County cites research by Pennsylvania State University showing best corn yields occur when plant population at husking time ranges from 14 000 to 18 000 plants per acre.
Joseph H. Way advises Chester County cattlemen to curb winter costs by using roughage as the base of the feeding program. Dry cows need about two percent of body weight in dry roughage daily, while cows nursing calves require more and often benefit from silage and grain. Separate dry cows from nursing cows and feed heifer calves and yearlings with quality roughage plus grain to ensure proper growth, along with fresh water, minerals, and salt.
Dr. L A Wilhelm of Ful-O-Pep at Libertyville Illinois spoke at a Lancaster Poultry Center meeting about year round chick production and improved per hen output. He urged mash feeding over cracked corn to avoid digestive issues and cited antibiotic feeds reducing Pullorum risks.
Winter clipping reduces labor for care and milking prep, controls cattle lice, and improves herd appearance. It lowers milk bacteria counts required by milk sheds. Start at the tail and tailhead, then udder, belly, hocks, and flanks, avoiding the backbone. Clipping helps show cattle and aids sales appeals.
