DAIRY COW NUTRITION DURING SUMMER The year's production on dairy farms can be materially affected by feed conditions during summer. Cows fed poorly now, the Department of Agriculture points out, not only produce less milk during summer, but dry off earlier in autumn. Dairy statistics show that long lactation is very important, so the feeding of silage or other supplementary milk-producing fodders should be started as soon as pasture begins to dry off. Supplementary feeding should not be left until milk production shows a material fall.
