The average yield in all the settlements is comparatively high, although the yield is considerably better in the Kvutzoth than in the Smallholding Settlements. This is not due to neglect, but merely because many of the Smallholding Settlements have no adequate irrigation facilities yet enabling them to grow green fodder in sufficient quantities, and the lack of green fodder affects the supply of milk.
