1. To determine the milk production per cow for Grade A producers in Bradley County.

2. To determine the relationship between milk production and acreage of certain crops, feeding practices, and breeding practices in Bradley County.

3. To assemble milk production records and related information of the Grade A producers to serve as a point of departure for use in the Farm and Home Development Program in Bradley County.
