Slight Gain in Yield of Potato Prepared by USDA

The United States Department of Agriculture notes that over 65 years the average potato yield per acre rose only 4.4 percent from 1868 1872 to 1018 1922, with earlier declines due to the Colorado beetle and economic depressions. Improvements come from experimental stations colleges and seed quality measures, including certified seed.

Early Molting Hens Do Not Pay for Feed Bill

Roosters to Sell If Not Useful for Breeding

Farmers should remove roosters not needed for breeding and sell or fatten them for market. Infertile eggs command less value, so keep hens separate from infertile cockerels. Purge purebred cockerels not needed for pens and ready them for sale to gain profit from heavier, fatter birds. Roosterless farms exist in parts of the country.

Corn Silage for Steers Gives Highest Returns

Steer feeding tests in Pennsylvania last winter show standard corn belt ration yields a profit of 5.60 per head, while a corn silage only diet plus stover and cottonseed meal yields 7.49 per head. Replacing 20 percent of corn with molasses reduces profit by 1.81, and using hay or mixed feed lowers returns, with trials covering 770 pound steers over 140 days.

Broody Hen Tracking Proposed for Dual-Purpose Breeds

Growing Asparagus Tips Depend on Care This Season
