Synopsis Milk yield was correlated with forage yield and consumption, when expressed on a per acre basis, and regression equations are given to show this relation. Milk production per cow was of greater economic significance than milk production per acre. Returns were higher for orchardgrass plus Ladino clover than for orchardgrass plus N fertilization.
