Dairy Profitability Program Set For Clarion County
SHIPPENVILLE (Clarion Co.)
Clarion County Cooperative Extension
in Shippenville will offer a program on
“Ways to Improve Dairy Profitability”
scheduled for Jan. 30 from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. at the Nickleville Church in Nick
leville. The three-part program will
focus on com silage, a new insurance
program, and strategies for feeding
dairy cattle.
The com silage program will focus on
the effect of raising the cutting height of
corn silage on a dairy cow’s diet, It in
creases silage quality and digestibility,
but will also reduce harvest yields. The
discussion will center on yield and quali
ty changes when com silage cutting
height is increased and the milk yield re
sponse of dairy cows to the cutting
height of silage com while looking at the
economics and management benefits of
increasing the cutting height. Greg Roth
and Zhiguo Wu of Penn State Universi
ty will lead the discussion on the effects
of the changing the cutting height of
com silage. They will provide research
information gained and updated with
new research information from recent
field trials in 2002.

alternative feeding strategies in a low

the resources and forages you have
available to your herd’s best advantage.

affect production and the farm’s bottom
line.
