Grain feeding boosts dairy returns, says New York study
G W Tallby Jr of the New York State Agricultural College releases dairy herd data showing higher milk yields with more grain. Cows producing 5 201 to 11 0387 pounds milk showed profit increases as grain and roughage costs rose, suggesting liberal grain feeding improves winter and year round milk supply and market value.

Chop Hay With Ensilage Cutter to Save Waste
Dairy and stock farmers report chopping hay with an ensilage cutter reduces waste and increases feed value. Tests show two tons of chopped hay yield nearly as much as three tons fed whole. Chopped hay from the field can be blown into the mow, with similar curing needs, boosting daily cutter use and lowering silo filling costs.

Cutting Down Feed and Protein Hurts Milk Yield
The text discusses dairy herd profitability and argues against reducing protein or total feed below required levels. It notes that cutting protein or feed undermines milk production and can turn a project into a loss, comparing it to using insufficient cement in concrete yielding weak or worthless results.
Economics of Permanent Pastures Outlines savings and outputs
Outline of Economics of Permanent Pastures describes labor savings from pasture cultivation with livestock harvesting the crop. It notes low cost protein from cheap nitrogen carriers, reduced need for concentrates, and better land use for lands not suited to cultivation. It argues less cereal production, stronger markets due to lower oversupply, and more livestock milk and meat per acre.
Silage Usage in Winter Dairy Feeding
Dairymen rely on silage to replace pasture grass during winter to sustain milk production. Silage is described as a succulent, palatable, economical feed and the most commonly used water succulent feed for dairy cows.

Northwestern Minnesota trial finds corn silage not profitable for baby beef calves
Trials at the University of Minnesota Crookston show low northern yields make corn silage unprofitable for fattening calves. Ground barley linseed oil meal and alfalfa hay produced better gains and lower costs, with silage adding $22.37 margin per head versus $27.71 without it.

Vaccination Tests Suggest Age Window For Pig Immunity
Experiments at Ames Kansas and other stations show pigs as young as a few days can be immunized against cholera with high success, while immunity in seven to nine week olds approaches that of mature hogs. Researchers note leakage from injection sites may affect results in very young pigs, recommending vaccination move to two months old for reliability.

Clover in stubble is cleanest hog pasture
Clover in wheat and oat stubble is usually the cleanest pasture on the farm. Sanitation matters as hogs move into stubble after threshing. Tests by Dr H B Ratlensperger show warm eggs incubate rapidly in warm weather and eggs from wormy spring shores or old hogs may ruin next fall pigs. A few fall sanitation tricks on stubble fields can protect spring pigs if the plan is followed.

Grain for Lambs for Early Weaning Gains
Lambs not yet marketed should receive grain after weaning to improve market condition. A creep-fed plan before weaning trains lambs to eat grain, boosting gains even on good pasture. This reduces weaning setbacks and may allow earlier marketing.
