St Olaf Brothers Day Turkeys Most Profitable Crop
ST OLAF Cornelius and Louie Reierson, brothers, trucked 1300 dressed turkeys to Chicago and Milwaukee this week with 1300 more earmarked for Christmas. They argue turkeys are the most profitable crop, noting turkeys yield two to six times pork in profit given current prices. They started with 800 turkeys on a 205 acre farm and now raise them with own eggs hatched, six weeks in houses, then pastured on twelve and ten acres. They feed home grown corn and oats with bran middlings concentrates and meat scraps to a ration of 150 pounds corn to 100 pounds oats.
