Concrete floors dominate hog finishing units nationwide
Dan Pherigo, county farm agent, says concrete is the most used floor for confined hog finishing. A four inch thick concrete floor over a gravel base with a slight slope drains well and cleans easily, with light troweling for a smooth surface. Slatted floors offer potential to reduce cleaning labor but require more capital and pose ventilation, drafts, flies, and durability considerations. wood and metal slats are among options under study.

Start Now To Control Elm Beetles
ERIE control of the elm leaf beetle should begin immediately says county farm agent Bill Dickson as eggs hatch and hundreds of larvae feed on leaf undersides. He advises spraying with DDT or Sevin solutions, notes Sevin is less toxic to birds but offers limited residual action, and emphasizes misting leaf undersides. The elm beetle is yellowish green with a black wing margin stripe, with larvae dark and small, and a single thorough spray can protect trees though follow ups may be needed as beetles migrate from other trees. Elm species most affected include Chinese Elm and American elm, though all elms may host the pest.
