Livestock Plan to Aid Farmers by Limestone Agent
J T Belue, Limestone County farm agent, urges using hogs to market corn surpluses. Auburn experiments show 100 pounds of pork cost about 143 dollars in feed, with tankage and cottonseed meal, under dry lot conditions. If corn alone fed, 10.7 bushels yield 100 pounds pork, yielding less value per bushel. The plan promotes supplementing home feeds to maximize returns and offers help with other livestock questions.
