Build Up Flocks With New Grain
Dear Friends it is good to see this grain being cut Poultry flocks across the Middle West have suffered from feed shortages Last year spring chickens were lighter on average due to lack of feed This year there should be enough grain to raise spring chickens to five pounds Farmers are urged not to sell light weights as it reduces price and weakens the flock Pullets and hens need attention to prevent stunted growth that cannot be recovered
