Milk Production May Be Down — Milk production may be re duced this winter because of the low quality hay which is being fed, according to University of Nebraska dairymen. They point out that hay which has lost its leaves and color has lost much of its feeding value. Rain during the haying season reduced the qual ity of much of Nebraska^ hay crop. The dairymen say that if the quality of the roughage is low, it’s necessary to replace the required nutrients from the grain ration. But, they add, regardless of the quality of the roughages— hay or silage—they still are the backbone of the dairy ration. The roughages, they say, should be fed liberally to cows and the ani mals should have a chanceto pick out the better parts. The rest of the hay can be used for bedding.
