The theme of the 78th Annual
Convention of the Association,
“What’s Ahead for the Hay In
dustry” can be summarized by
one statement: More acres of the
proper kind and quality of hay
need to be more efficiently
produced and marketed to help
supply a larger portion of the feed
used for livestock. This is the only
way to produce the meat, milk
and other livestock products
needed for human consumption,
and thereby permit the diversion
of millions of tons or grains from
animal to human consumption.
Also research needs to be in
tensified to determine what
substantial nutritional values in
hay, particularly alfalfa, can be
used for supplementing the
traditional human diet.
Nine specialists from
Agricultural Departments of
state universities, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, State
Departments of Agriculture and
farm implement manufacturers
presented papers.
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture was represented by
Dr. James L. Butler, Coastal
Research Service, Tifton,
Georgia.
Dr. Donald Hillman, Michigan

necessity of quality hay in the
growing of calves for milk herd

results are to be realized in
profitable herd management.
Dr. John R. Baylor, Extension
Agronomist, The Pennsylvania
State University and John Polich

of reducing the overall cost factor
