Lincoln parish dairy school meets for sixth session
Fifty five farmers and business men attended the sixth session of the Chamber of Commerce dairy school in Lincoln parish. County Agent J A Shealy and Professor R L Reese led discussions to measure productivity on farms with and without milking cows. A committee was formed to compare final five‑year returns on a forty acre farm with two hands versus a six cow unit on thirty two acres. The study suggested similar labor requirements, soil conditions better where cows were milked, and an estimated $890 rise in herd value plus $50 monthly dairy income. Next session will further discuss the topic.
