Lott of dairy cows are part-timara—they're not producing as much at they ceuM. For a very simple reason; They don't get enough milk making feeds. Or they get the wrong combi nation of fuel. So their milk-making motors idle. Cow-power output—end profits—ere lower than the machinery is built to turn out There's a practical, organized way to rev 'em up—with a MoorMan's* Cow Power Dairy Feeding Program. Ift bated on the proven fact that when good cowt are fed better, they produce more milk—and more profit. From Mint rat a 0 or Premlx-trat#*, a cow and her billions of nutritional helpers—microorganisms in her rumen—get the high-quality, carefully balanced proteins, urea, minerals and vitamins A and D needed to help break down roughage and grain into milk-making cow-power.

Next, to produce ample milk for them to grow fast So start developing the gilt into a profitable brood sow before you breed her—on a ration tailored to her needs. You can do this with a proven product and program for gilt development pioneered by Moor Man Research 30 years ago. It’s an economical program—with an extra bonus that can come in extended productive life of sows. Lets figure soon on programs for your gilts, sows and mark et hogs.

Small Farmers Need REDDING, C A—Seven out of 10 of all the farms in the U.S. are small farms, bringing in less than $40,000 a year in sales,” said Howard “Bud” Kerr, Director, USDA’s Office of Small Scale Agriculture. “Even so,” he added, “most politicians focus only on the needs of the remaining 30 per cent of the nation’s farmers who produce 90 percent of the nation’s agricultural output. No one champions the cause of the small farmer in Washington, D.C.” Kerr, a 28-year veteran at USDA explained that his office was created by Secretary of Agri culture Richard Lyng in 1986 to specifically address the needs of small farmers. The office has five current programs that meet the If we sold our research farms, we could cut the price of our feed If we were less concerned about how our products perform for you, we could cut our research or do a lot less. Our investment in 2,700 acres—and in livestock, buildings, equipment and people—isn’t to be sneezed at. Neither is the investment in our research laboratories and the people who work in them. Nor what it takes to run a field research program on cooperating farms and ranches in many states, But cutting corners in research and in other ways wouldn’t make much sense. It isn’t the price per ton you pay for Moor- Man’s Mintrate® or Premix-trate® that counts—it’s how effi ciently these highly concentrated Moor Man Products can help you turn grain and roughage into growth, gains or milk.
