Iowa State College extension engineers say lumpy cement often remains usable if caused by bag pressure rather than moisture. Dry storage, weather tight roofs, and moisture barriers protect cement from humidity. They advise stacking on a covered floor with roll roofing to block capillary moisture and consolidating piles to reduce surface exposure.

Grind Alfalfa Coarse To Feed Young Pigs
Da mon Catron of Iowa State College recommends coarse ground alfalfa for growing and fattening pigs. Experiments at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station with the American Dehydrators' Association show coarse alfalfa in a supplement yields economical gains and lower grinding costs. Coarse ground alfalfa pigs gained 1.77 lb daily, more than fine and medium fineness, with higher feed per 100 pounds gain in some comparisons. Chopped dehydrated hay slightly outperformed coarse alfalfa meal, but all pigs received the same base supplement.
