Farm Notes From The Isle Of Jersey And Other Rural Tips
Farmers should adjust feed with milk profits in mind. Good winter fodder includes well cured corn fodder oat straw and clover. Turnips form a major part of Jersey cow diets. Butter quality matters, with flavor body and color. Open ditches drain land but tiling is superior. Fruit storage at about forty degrees preserves best. Do not lure horses with empty promises. trust is key. English grain trends could push American markets higher. Prof. Craig’s lamb ration favors bran corn meal and oil meal. Stock profitability depends on feed and care, with select stock and true care yielding best results. Dobbins Electric Soap promotes a new five-cent soap as the best.
