"Our
first year
with the
Harvestore
System
saved us
$1500.00 in
purchased
feed and
$1600.00 in
hired
labor . . .
Our production is up, too. On
52 cows we produced over
750,000 lbs. of milk lost year.
That's up 50,000 lbs. from the
year before. Our butterfat
tests have gone up .2% to
.3%. We have 14,700 lbs. of
milk and 564 lbs. of fat now.
According to our Pennsylvania
Farmer's Association figures
our return on investment is
now 13.6%.“
