Manure and Rotation to Reduce Cost of Dairying
An article highlights crop rotation and manure as key to efficient dairying. Citing Missouri station data, continuous corn yields averaged 20.9 bushels per acre over 30 years, while a corn oats clover rotation rose to 82.6 bushels without manure, and a three year rotation with manure yielded 43.4 bushels per acre. Manure and legume rotation reduce milk production costs.

Speed of Separator Effects Cream Fat Percentages
James Linn reports that separator speed, milk temperature, and flush water drive fat variation in cream. Normal speed yields 39.7% fat, three quarters speed 33.5%. Higher fat occurs at lower milk temperatures: 120F gives 24.5% cream, 90F yields 20%, and 75F delivers 48%. Increasing flush water raises fat loss when separated volume drops.

Feeding the best dairy cows during short feed periods
Shortages of water and feed drive hardship for dairy operations. A cow can only produce milk with adequate feed and water, and during a 43 day period of short feed, focus on the highest producing cows. Provide enough roughage and supplements to maintain milk yield, as restocking milk flow after declines is very hard.
Water needs of high milking dairy cows
Allan, who has only beef cattle experience, would be astonished to carry water for a day to a high producing dairy cow. The milking cow requires substantial water because milk production is water intensive and such cows are heavy red animals.
