dairy farmers who are members

, Penn mar’, a received a recom
mended base plan from the
USD A during April 1970. This
plan was supported by many
farmer members and directors
tif each organization.
! The only pioducer opposition
came from Xew York Coopera
tive, Hand noted.
“Dairy fanners will make
'base milk' during the months
of August through December
and these bases will be used the
following March through
February,” Hand explained.
“If approved you will have a
12-month base plan.”
He cited one shortcoming of
the plan. Name changes on con
tinuing milk production from
the same herd is not permitted
in the recommended decision.
However, Hand announced that
Pennmarva is requesting this
provision and hopes it will be
approved by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Daniel L. Martin, Manheira
RDI, an Inter-State director,
was in charge of the dairy pro

To Feed Dry Matter
Livestock going to pasture for
the first several weeks should
continue to get dry matter. Di
gestive troubles will be reduced
il they have a feeding of hay,
straw, or sdage belore filling up
on lush forage. On heavily nitro
gen fertilized pastures grass te
tany will be reduced if the ani
mals are given a feeding of le
gume hay or silage daily; this
type of forage is higher in mag
nesium than the others and
should help prevent trouble.
Liming the area with a dolomi
tic limestone will also increase
the magnesium content of
crops. i
