MARKET MILK IN VERMONT. 



17 



year's milk production for the same season was 42 and 44.5, respec- 

 tively. Subtracting the credit for manure and bedding from the cost 

 of feed, pasture, and bedding in winter produced a closer correlation 

 to the price received for winter milk. However, this did not prove to 

 be equally true for the summer season.

SUMMARY. 



The figures reported in this study were obtained from typical 

 farms in a market milk section of Vermont. Although they show 

 the requirements for producing milk in that section and may ap- 

 proximate the requirements in similar sections, they do not apply to 

 dairy sections where other conditions and methods of management 

 prevail.
