DECEMBER DAIRYING.
GOOD MONTH FOR PRODUCTION Although December was a dry month the lack of rain was not felt until towards the end of that period and on most farms there was a fairly-good growth of grass. The milk production dropped slightly but higher tests brought the total butterfat up and in many cases December was a more profitable month than November, which is usually the flush period.
