Summer silage and soiling keep milk flowing in drought
E V Ellington of the Idaho Experiment Station explains that early spring and midsummer are the riskiest milk loss periods. He outlines two practical, labor efficient methods: a summer silage plan and a modified soiling system using green crops like alfalfa clover corn peas and oats. He notes corn silage is valuable for both winter and summer feeding and shares an example from 1915 when peas and oats silage steadied milk.
