Providing Plenty of Water for Dairy Cows
Dairy farmers learn that ample clean water boosts milk production. Ninety percent of milk is water and cows require water in direct proportion to milk output. In summer a cow may drink about three pounds of water per pound of milk. one test showed a 27 pound milk cow drinking 77 pounds daily. A nonmilking cow drank less than half. Always ensure abundant fresh water, cool in hot months and warm in winter.
Milk and Cream Must Be Kept Cold as Weather Warms
As warm weather approaches, milk and cream require prompt cooling. Place the cream can in a cooling tank with as cold water as possible to prevent souring during rising spring temperatures.
Proper fertilizer to buy for economical farming
The most economical fertilizer is the one with the highest percentage of plant food. It costs more per ton but can be used at a lower rate per acre since it contains less useless material.
Plant Crops for Cow Feed in The Dairy Industry
Dairy cows demand proper feeding for profitability. Silage and alfalfa hay top cow feeds. promising row crops for silos include vanes kaffirs darso jeterlta and corn. When alfalfa fails, leguminous alternatives like cow peas soybeans or peanuts aid milk production. dirty milk poses greater health risks than dirty water due to rapid germ spread.
Caring for Tomato Plants
Secure a four or five foot stake for each tomato plant and drive stakes as ground softens. For trellised rows like grapes, set posts and two wires for each row.
Quality Counts Most in Dairy Keeping
The note emphasizes that quality matters more than herd size, urging focus on the kindness and care given to cows. It highlights that proper management and humane treatment define successful dairying beyond numbers.
