Extension engineer C H Van Vlack warns most cribs are insufficient and commercial facilities are scarce.

Bulletin AEP 9 offers pole type and semi permanent crib plans free, with other farm building plans such as AE 66 available for 15 cents.
Iowa State College extension dairyman Floyd Arnold urges farmers to shift from summer to winter rations now to maintain production with minimal gaps. He cites dry pastures, strong milk demand, high meat prices, and labor shortages as factors.

The article notes increasing protein concentrate and presents Arnold’s rule of thumb for grain. Feed 1 pound of grain per 3 or 4 pounds of milk, adjusting for butterfat percentage. Higher butterfat requires more grain to support milk production.
