Making the Farm Pay With Prof Holden On Poultry
Former Iowa State professor analyzes poultry as a money maker for farms. He cites 18 Ohio flocks showing profits per hundred hens from 15 to 247 dollars, urges better care, winter egg production, proper feed with beef scrap or buttermilk, and improved handling to prevent a 45 million dollar annual egg loss. Emphasizes ventilation, cleanliness, and avoiding drafts to keep hens healthy and productive.

GO Eggs What the average farm hen produces
The article uses Arkansas as an example to estimate hen egg output and farm income. Assuming 3,000 farms per county with 190 hens each laying eight dozen eggs annually at 20 cents a dozen, income per farm would be 160 dollars, yielding 480,000 dollars per county and about 35 million dollars for Arkansas across 74 counties. It argues poultry offers higher earning power than other farm enterprises and urges farmers to raise poultry.
