	Exotic Pet Veterinarian - Avian Anatomy
		This is called crop milk, and it resembles mammalian milk in that it is rich in fat and protein, however, it lacks carbohydrates and calcium, and contains no milk sugar (lactose).
		Often, this may be mistaken for a tumor or abnormality in the neck, especially when the crop is empty and the bird is sitting comfortably.
		The crop, in baby parrots, is very large, and shrinks down as the bird weans.

	Milk Snake Phase Corns - WWW.SERPENCO.COM
		Generally speaking, the ones that are labeled as Milk Snake Phase corns will be the cream of the crop, but it is quite possible for an exceptional Miami Phase and a so-so Milk Snake Phase to look very similar.
		The name 'Milk Snake Phase' was applied to a corn snake that I hatched out in 1984 when I lived in Maryland.
		One is to produce Milk Snake Phase corns with saddles and bands, rather than the more typical blotches.

	Jersey - Voyager, the free encyclopedia
		The source of milk is Jersey cattle, a small breed of cow that has also been acknowledged (though not widely so) for the quality of its meat.
		Jersey Royal potatoes are the local variety of new potato, and the island is famous for its early crop of small potatoes from the south-facing côtils (steeply-sloping fields).
		Jersey milk being very rich, cream and butter have played a large part in insular cooking.

	Breakfast cereal
		Breakfast cereals are generally eaten cold mixed with milk as opposed to hot like oatmeal grits etc.
		Though cereal is a staple of daily meals many countries around the world in wealthier nations such as the United States entire industries have been created dedicated the sale of specialized products such as cereals.
		Cereal manufacturers have criticized for manufacturing breakfast cereals with a sugar content aimed at children.

	The MILK RIVER "Great Canadian Rivers"
		The Reservoir is a consequence of the massive St. Mary River Irrigation Project, providing water to the crop and cattle industries and the Town of Raymond.
		Water sports, swimming, boating, camping, fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing and birdwatching are all on the recreational menu at the Milk River Ridge Reservoir, 10 kilometres south of Raymond, a farming community about halfway between the Milk River and Lethbridge.
		From the town of Milk River (Kilometre 116), the route ends at Deer Creek Bridge, downstream of Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park (Kilometre 195).

	Mourning Dove
		Mourning Doves feed their nestlings crop milk or "pigeon milk," which is secreted by the crop lining.
		Crop milk, which is regurgitated by both adults, is the exclusive food of hatchlings for three days, after which it is gradually replaced by a diet of seeds.
		Their crops fill quickly with seeds and digestion, aided by swallowed grit, occurs while the birds are resting, often in groups perched in trees or on wires.

		In general, the farther the farm is from an urban area, the more expensive the transportation cost of milk to the urban area, and the greater the proportion of milk that is converted to such value-added items as cheese and butter.
		It is an integrated crop and livestock farming that is primarily devoted to cultivation of grain for livestock feed

	THE AGRONOMY OF DAIRY FARMING IN NEW YORK STATE
		Dairy farming in New York State is fairly typical of the region surrounding the Great Lakes of North America, sometimes called the "dairy belt." The agriculture across the dairy belt is mixed, with fruit, vegetable, and cash crop production being locally important.
		Second, refrigerated transport of milk into the cities was initiated as a means of meeting the demand for milk; and third, the technology for producing corn silage made winter milk production possible in face of a year-round demand for milk.
		Total dairy farm assets were about $13 billion with on-farm milk sales of about $1.4 billion.

	Family Farm Defenders : Home Page
		Cooperatives allowed farmers to join together to buy feed, seed and supplies; sell their milk, grain and livestock; protect their farms with fire, wind and crop insurance.
		But the fine print of their ingredient list tells a different story - the fifth ingredient on that list is something called "Milk Protein Concentrate." This ingredient, called MPC for short, is an unregulated, untested substance that is far from the wholesome milk Kraft brags about.
		Given that alfalfa is a common perennial forage and cover crop used in a wide variety of animal feeds and even eaten by humans, this latest move by Monsanto to bring another genetically modified organism (GMO) into the world is now ringing alarm bells across rural America.

	COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN MONO AND POLYCULTURE SYSTEMS ON THE PRODUCTION OF PRAWN AND MILKFISH IN BRACKISHWATER PONDS
		The above results notwithstanding, polyculture of prawn with milk-fish still remains a good prospect for developing countries -with either milkfish alone as main crop and prawn as secondary crop or vice versa.
		Mean survival rates were 94.03 percent for prawn and 99.0 percent for milkfish in polyculture; and 82.13 percent for prawn and 92.33 percent for milk-fish for the polyculture system.
		Ponds 1, 2 and 6 were used for rearing milkfish and prawn in polyculture; Ponds 4, 5 and 7 for prawn in monoculture; and Ponds 3 and 8 for rearing milkfish in monoculture system.

	Animal Encyclopedia: Pigeon
		While most baby birds eat worms and grubs regurgitated by the adults, pigeon parents feed hatchlings crop milk, a high-protein, high-fat food produced in their throats.
		Crop milk is very similar to the milk of mammals--a group of animals including cows, bears, whales and, of course, humans.
		A rare bird: Unlike the majority of birds, pigeons drink with their beaks underwater, sucking liquid through their nostrils.

	August 2001 Bird of the Month - Mourning Dove
		Pigeons and doves produce "crop milk," which is a fluid from the lining the crop--a thin-walled, saclike chamber at the bottom of the esophagus.
		Rather than feeding their young on insects, as do most other seed-eating birds, mourning doves feed them "pigeon's milk," a nourishing liquid produced from the lining of the crop.
		Although mourning doves are the most widely hunted of all game birds nationwide, they are able to maintain their population because they adapt to virtually every habitat and nest at least twice a year.

	Chilean Flamingo Chicks In The Pink, Thanks to Extra "TLC" At The Bronx Zoo
		Crop milk is a secretion produced by both male and female flamingos to feed their young.
		The result was something that the Muppet people would be impressed with – a 24-inch-long sleeve that culminates in a flamingo head complete with a feeding device that delivers “crop milk” to the chicks.
		The Zoo’s youngest flamingos, hatched on September 15, October 14, and October 29, were brought indoors due to the visit of Hurricane Isobel and the approaching cooler weather.

		To give Paul Sieveking some credit, he did actually say “NOT MANY [our capitals] crop circles appeared before restrictions were lifted in mid July”, so he evidently admits there were some, but the implication was clearly that few people dared to enter the fields to make formations until access to land was again permitted.
		Unfortunately Paul Sieveking had little more to say about the huge-scale Milk Hill glyph other than that it measured 900’ across [which it didn’t – it was nearer 800’].
		The interview on crop circles was concluded by Paul Sieveking admitting to the technical brilliance of the formations and describing them as “a vibrant school of British art”…

		Mourning Doves feed their nestlings crop milk or "pigeon milk," which is secreted by the crop lining.
		Cool fact: The Western Scrub-Jay, the Island Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma insularis—found only on the island of Santa Cruz off the coast of Southern California), and the endemic Florida Scrub-Jay (A. coerulescens) formerly were given the status of races, but they are now seen as separate species
		They will fly as far as 50 miles to forage, returning along established flight routes to the roost each evening.

	National Capital Botanical Gardens - Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
		Pigeon or crop milk is a secretion of the adult crop which forms the complete diet of nestlings for the first few days of life.
		Pigeons are unusual among birds in that they produce a milk which has a chemical composition similar to that produced by mammals.
		Crowned pigeons differ from other pigeons in having sixteen instead of twelve tail feathers, in the scaling of their legs, in lacking an oil gland and gall bladder, and in possessing a large, fan-shaped crest of erect lacy feathers.

	FEWS NET 3.0 Center
		This poor crop performance is the result of increasingly frequent periods of water stress caused by rainfall deficits (in Brakna, Gorgol, Guidimakha and Hodh El Chargui) and of grasshopper infestations of crops in the maturation-milk grain stage (in Guidimakha, Hodh El Chargui and Hodh El Gharbi).
		In regions like Hodh El Chargui, where virtually all grain production is from dieri or rainfed highland crops and traditional lowland crops (this region has few dams), only animal products and imports of rice, wheat, mash, flour and grain from Mali can offset the shortfall in rainfed crop production.
		The Gorgol Noir flooded large portions of the 10,000 hectare Fori Plain area east of KaÃ«di, but many farmers, particularly in the department of Monguel, have chosen not to farm this area, discouraged by repeated crop failures over the course of the past several years, preferring instead to join in the so-called "rural exodus."

	ERS/USDA Data -
		Methods of estimating the monthly milk costs of production (COP) in each State use the most recent annual estimate as the baseline, along with indexes that reflect price and production differences between months and the baseline.
		USDA crop cost and return estimates for fuel items are computed by pricing estimates of fuel consumption by state-average fuel prices.
		Also, this index has been dropped from the formula for monthly milk marketing cost because changes in production each month are not likely to affect the unit cost of marketing milk.

		According to Autocrat Coffee and Syrup of Rhode Island, the drink became popular in the 1930s, when diner and drugstore operators sweetened leftover coffee grounds with milk and sugar.
		Only Rhode Island has coffee milk as an official state drink — described as similar to chocolate milk, but with coffee syrup instead of chocolate.
		Some foods were so designated because the state is a major producer — Georgia's official crop is the peanut, its fruit is the peach, and its vegetable is the Vidalia onion.
