Hay and silage production studies, which resulted in the recom- mendation of a definite cropping program for the dairy farms of the state. 8. Milk farm studies, which showed a rather complete economic picture of wholesale milk production in the Connecticut Valley. Widely varying requirements in barn operations were found, indi- cating that certain farmers could save over two hours a day by re- arranging their barns and reorganizing their methods. A study of Grade A milk production traced troubles on 130 farms to some minor slip in sterilizing equipment; and a better understanding of the prin- ciples involved in low-bacteria milk now enables most of the farmers in the area to deliver milk with less than 10,000 count. A retail milk marketing study formed the basis of the development which has re- sulted in the state milk control board. 9. Land utilization study, which has brought out in bold relief the meagerness oi farm production in certain back areas and has pro- vided basic data for formulating a definite policy. 10. A study of types of farming, showing the extent and type of farming for each commercial farm in the state — the most complete picture ever drawn of New Hampshire's agriculture. to X c o CO S 3. 60 80 100 1Z0 140 IbO 180 ZOQ Z20 Z40 260 Hours // comparison oj man hours on barn chores per ifloo pounds of milk on jSfarms •4 19 ]a.
