One Man Dairy Farmer Boosts Milk Output with Silage Strategy
Richard Bloch of Plainfield Wisconsin runs a one man operation producing 817,000 pounds of milk annually and aims for 850,000 pounds in 1966. He emphasizes total digestible nutrients over tonnage, growing corn as silage using narrow 30 inch rows and a short stalk hybrid DeKalb XL 45 to raise grain content and herd production.
