Quick Green Crops and Fodder Conservation in Victoria
The Journal of the Agricultural Department of Victoria warns that dry seasons cause heavy livestock losses when fodder is scarce. It notes that lucerne acreage grows slowly while summer fodder planting declined from 54,000 acres in 1929 to 37,000 in 1925, due partly to lower labor costs for permanent pasture and other factors reducing cultivated fodder needs.
