Sheep Insurance Covers Losses From Dogs and Wild Animals
Graydon Blank, extension sheep specialist at Michigan State College, describes a standard policy covering losses from dogs and wild animals as well as fire, wind, and lightning. The cost is about 9 cents per $100 of sheep value, with optional clauses for dog or wild animal attacks and other perils, adjustable with flock size. The three year term lowers the premium, and policy applicability may extend to cattle and hogs.

Second Largest Corn Crop In 1940s Forecast
USDA projects a 3,337 million bushel crop, about 10 percent above average, with the Corn Belt in good condition. Farmers should plan harvest and storage space, and buyers may face 25 percent below support prices. Milk producers see higher profits in midwest herds, while low milk cows lose feed value. Old belting helps move logs on highways, and April chicks will start work next month with fowl pox and Newcastle vaccinations advised now.
