On the whole, however, the
University’s dairy farm is
more like than unlike the
ordinary dairy fanner’s
operation. It is run “in the
black” with only the amount
of labor that it can support
economically.
like the ordinary dairy
farmer, the University
researchers are always
looking for good ways to cut
costs. One way they do this is
to experiement with money
saving feeds. For example,
by interplanting soybeans
with com, the researchers
hope to produce more farm
grown protein at a lower cost
without sacrificing yield.
Haenlein enjoys. the
challenge' of adapting
technology to the needs of
the University’s special
urban location. After all, he
notes, it’s only a matter of
time before farmers in lower
Delaware and elsewhere vnU
be facing similar pressures.
He wants them to know in
advance that it is possible to
farm economically on a
smaller scale, surrounded
by houses and factories. The
University of Delaware is
doing it.
