Milking Northsorns and silage on a 50 acre farm idea
A Massachusetts farmer outlines a shift from dairy cows to a mixed plan centered on milking Northorns with Hereford calves, corn silage, and machinery. The writer advises growing legumes and corn on the 50 acre plot, using a manure spreader, rock phosphate, and potash to build fertility, while noting the risks of small scale farming and skepticism from neighbors.
