RD2, Box 154 Narvon, Pa. 17555 “Just a few words to share with my fellow dairymen I started on the Agri-King feeding program in December 1972 In August 1972 I was milking 40 cows with a rolling herd average of 13,543 lbs milk and 475 lbs fat I was shipping 338 lbs. milk per cows per day on all cows and 394 lbs on milking cows. In August 19741 milked 50 cows with a rolling herd average-of 15,486 lbs milk and 514 lbs fat I’m now shipping 44.1 lbs milk per cow per day on all cows and 55 7 lbs. on milking cows This is the best I’ve ever done through the summer. I’ve had very few milk fevers, and my breeding problems have decreased so that I don’t have to sell cows because of not being able to get them bred. I use Super Micro on all my fresh cows until they settle. I feel it pays to put corn silage m green and treat it with Silo King Last year I filled one silo with green corn silage treated with Silo King, and it was the best silage I had. I didn’t realize just how much better the cows were doing until I compared my records. I've increased my herd by 10 cows and their milk production by more than 10 lbs. per cow per day on all cows and more than 16 lbs on milk cows. Also my veterinary bills are really down It’s a pleasure for me to milk cows under these conditions!” ‘Stern Lancaster Co. acres harvested of wheat, corn, grain sorghum and barley based on the estimated national average yield which would result in production equal tp estimated domestic and export disappearance in the 1975-76 marketing year.
