Title | New Mexico Dairy Herd Improvement, March, 1961 |
Series Designation | Dairy Herd Improvement Association Monthly Report |
Description | The monthly report of the Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) was initiated by E.E. Anderson, Extension Dairyman in the 1940s. From the 1960s forward a cooperative report had been prepared jointly by staff members of the NMSU Dairy Department, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Veterinary and sent primarily to dairy herds on test (OS, DHIA, DHIR), County Extension Agents, and Instructors of Vocational Agriculture. The publication of the DHIA report was overseen by Philip Leyendecker, a director of the NMSU Agricultural Extension Service in cooperation with U.S. Department of Agriculture. The title of the report had changed over time; it had a couple of variations, New Mexico Dairy Herd Improvement and Dairy Improvement Notes. This digital collection includes historical issues published between 1961 and 1980. |
