Milk Records Meet Profit Goals At Stauffer Farm Field Day
Clarence Stauffer of Ephrata explains that milk production records have dipped slightly while profit over feed costs rose. His three year herd average yields nearly 15 000 pounds of milk and 535 pounds of butterfat. The Stauffer farm uses a glass lined silo for fist crop alfalfa and relies on no preservatives with wagon transport to shield leaves during harvest. The Lancaster County Holstein Association Field Day is set for July 28 at Sunny Craft Farm.
