Whole-farm Phosphorus Management on Dairy Farms
Most dairy farms in Wisconsin continue to follow a fairly generalized formula of how to produce milk. Cows and replacement heifers are fed primarily homegrown feed from crop rotations comprising alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), corn (Zea mays L.), oats (Avena spp.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). Protein and mineral supplements are purchased to compliment dairy diets. However, the dairy indust...
متن کاملNon-fatal farm injuries on 117 eastern Ontario beef and dairy farms: a one-year study.
A one-year prospective survey was conducted to study the incidence of and potential risk factors for farm-related injuries in Eastern Ontario. One hundred and seventeen dairy and beef farms were surveyed using a personal interview. Information was collected on demographic characteristics of the farm owners, workers, and families; characteristics of the farm operations; and information on behavi...
متن کاملEstimating Farm Size Required to Economically Justify Anaerobic Digestion on Small Dairy Farms
The benefits of anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy manure vary from economic (reduced power costs/income from excess electricity/heat), to environmental (reduced greenhouse gas emissions, better control over field application of digestate) to social (through reduced odor during storage and application). However to realize these benefits economically, is the true challenge of AD, and a part of th...
متن کاملDairy farm cost efficiency.
A stochastic cost equation was estimated for US dairy farms using national data from the production year 2000 to determine how farmers might reduce their cost of production. Cost of producing a unit of milk was estimated into separate frontier (efficient) and inefficiency components, with both components estimated as a function of management and causation variables. Variables were entered as im...
متن کاملPhosphorus concentrations in overland flow from diverse locations on a New York dairy farm.
The National Phosphorus Project rainfall simulator was used to quantify overland flow and P transport from nine sites distributed throughout the watershed of a New York City Watershed Agriculture Program collaborating dairy farm. Observed concentrations of total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) were low (0.007-0.12 mg L(-1)) in flow from deciduous forest, extensively managed pasture, and hillside see...
