The note explains that high yields per cow reduce costs and that successful home dairying hinges on four factors: the cow, her care and feeding, production, and marketing.

Farmers stack to protect grain from storms and rains, especially during July, and can cover unfinished stacks with tarpaulins to keep grain dry.
