Feed for Thought; Grain Corn Harvest

Grain corn

Feed is the largest single production expense on the dairy farm.

No feed means no milk. Period.

Regardless of all the other factors that enter the equation, such as cow genetics, health and management, the dairy feeding program most affects productivity and profitability.

So, from the dairyman's standpoint, the marketing slogan "Got Milk? easily translates into: "Got Feed?"

Imagine this dairy family's relief when our grain corn harvest finally came in three days before Thanksgiving.
