Culling Dairy Cows Boosts Beef, Markets To Favor Prices
Illinois dairy herd improvement associations caste out nearly 10 percent of their cows for beef in five months, aiming to reduce milk surpluses. If continued, over 20 million pounds less milk would enter the market, with 1,400 dairymen holding 20,000+ cows participating in 55 associations guided by the state college extension service. A Tazewell County farmer cut 11 cows from 32, yielding 87,972 pounds less milk and 1,884 pounds less fat next year, while the herd’s net return rose by 985.43 above feed costs.

Effect of Feed on Milk Composition
Experimental feeding of dairy cows shows that while milk quantity may decline if protein is deficient, the overall composition of milk remains constant. If protein intake is too low, cows draw on body protein until depleted, then milk output falls but composition stays unchanged.

Study Aims to End Farm Waste with By-Product Use

Practices That Boost Farm Productivity in Illinois
Illinois farm record studies over five years show earnings variance of more than 3000 dollars per farm. High yielding seeds, good seedbeds, weed and disease control, balanced rations, proper cultivation, seasonal farm tasks, manure management, market-oriented production, and ledger accuracy raise income with minimal cash outlay. Additional gains come from limestone where needed, legumes in rotation, phosphate and potash use, proper field layout and drainage, suited livestock, and expanding business scale to utilize labor and machinery fully.
