Kansas livestock output up since 1940 amid efficiency gains
Dr. Harold E. Jones, director of extension at Kansas State College, reports 1957 livestock production about 40 percent higher than 1940. Gains mainly from higher output per animal, with beef cattle up 30 percent, milk cows 29 percent, eggs per layer 46 percent, feed efficiency to broilers 50 percent, and corn and wheat per acre rising. Milk per dairy cow averaged about 5000 pounds, while top 80 cows exceeded 14,000 pounds. top cows’ feed costs were higher but labor return was sixfold. Artificial breeding shows potential for future gains.

Hay crimping for curing gains interest
Farmers in Manhattan show interest in crushing or crimping hay to speed drying and reduce rain risk. Kansas State extension engineer Floyd Reece notes two main benefits: shorter curing time and more equal leaf and stem drying, minimizing leaf shattering losses. Three machine types exist: two smooth rollers, two bar reels, and one smooth roller design.
