Bulky Mix will stretch
your grain... fortify it

WHAT BULKY MIX WILL DO
FOR YOUR DAIRY RATION

something sweet, or something cheap.

and mineral deficiencies of grain . . . and,
in addition bulks-up grains over 20% giving
the ration a roughage-like texture.
Bulky Mix is economical to feed, too . ..
a relatively low cost source of energy . . .
saves grain ... gets the job done efficiently.
HOW TO FEED BULKY MIX

the Reserve, total crop acre
age must be reduced by the
amount of the Conservation
Reserve acreage.
About 22 4 minion acres
were out of production under
this program during the ’59
crop season, and more than 5
million new acres are expec
ted to go into the Reserve in
1960 as a result of the sign
up last fall
Farms on which all the
cropland is out oi production
accounts for about 14 8 mil
lion acres, or two-thirds of
the total amount of cropland
under contract in 1959 A
special incentive is offered
for whole farm contracts
since they remove the entue
crop production potential of
the farm aid leave no land
for more intensive farming.
Also, livestock production
generally is reduced or elim
inated on such farms.
A farmer who places all
his cropland in the Conserva
tion Reserve may continue to
live on the farm, maintain a
home garden, and use the
permanent pasture and orch.
