Synopsis

This guidebook for cooperative dairy associations explores methods and data collection procedures used by dairy herd improvement associations in the United States. Published in 1924 with revisions in 1927, the book provides a snapshot of best practices used by dairy associations at the time to improve milk and butterfat production. Among the topics covered are guidelines for tester compensation and conduct, record-keeping protocols, and a detailed examination of feeding and production calculations. In addition, the book provides ample space for record-keeping, enabling readers to apply these practices on their own farms and within their own associations. Informed by the author's extensive experience, this instructional guide gives rare insight into the history and development of early 20th-century dairy farming practices in the United States. Its insights continue to hold relevance for modern dairy farmers and agriculturalists.
