M.E. McCullough of the Universi
ty of Georgia told a full house of
farmers attending the workshop on
livestock and crop production this
week organized by Agri-
Dynamics of Martins Creek.

produce. However, the feedstuffs
which produce either butterfat or
protein, do not work together.

Consequently, the fanner needs a
ration for optimum conditions.
The amount of fiber in the diet
depends wholly on the state of
maturity at which the forage is
harvested. Starch content should
be kept under 30 percent. When
starch begins to climb milk pro
duction falls off. A cow with 20

lbs. Although 61 lbs./day is far
from poor, the point is that with a
