Good Stands of Corn From USDA Guidance
USDA specialists advise even plant distribution and specialized machinery to maximize corn stands. Optimal spacing ranges from 3% feet between rows, with 6 to 12 square feet per plant, depending on soil fertility, fertilizer, planting time, and season. Remedies include seed quality, tar repellant, proper planting depth, nitrate boosting, and occasional extra seeding when stands are risky. Sweet clover is widely grown across the Union, especially in western North Central and Mountain states.

Keep Breeding Sows for Future Pork Supply
USDA specialists note breeding sows remain a solid investment even amid high feed costs. Despite 3 percent fewer sows on farms, breeding sows multiply rapidly and many are sold after one or two litters.

Creaming of Milk and the Effect of Temperature
A concise report on milk creaming by B. W. Hammer notes that milk from different kinds cream at different rates and form distinct cream lines. Low temperatures deepen the cream layer, ice water yields a deeper initial layer that contracts with time, while room temperature forms a shallow layer that thickens as the milk stands. Agitation may not reduce creaming, and cream separation followed by recombining cream and skim milk slightly lowers cream depth and slows rise.
