Supplying Farrowing Pens With Protective Fenders
Farrowing pens should include fenders to shield piglets. Use 2 by 8 inch planks attached as shelves about eight inches above floor on both sides of the corner. This prevents the sow from squeezing piglets against walls or lying on them. A board overlay on a Meathcrete floor makes the nest bed warmer drier and cleaner.

Cooperative marketing grows, aiding farmers to safeguard their date-ests to the usure.
Per Capita Potato Yield Guide For Farmers
G B Arnold of Ohio State University notes that national potato yield per person above 3.8 bushels typically lowers prices the next season while yields below 3.2 to 3 bushels per person tend to push prices up. Indicated crop levels influence grower decisions on storing or selling at harvest. Federal data show late potato states’ production remains the key factor in price levels.

Cleanest Culture Helps Strawberry Leaf Spot
The plantation advises clean cultural practices to control strawberry leaf spot. Use resistant varieties, ensure good air and water drainage, remove diseased leaves, rotate with other crops, and plow under after one crop. Destroy infected leaves when renovating, mow and burn badly infected plantations, and only then spray may be needed one to three times per season with 44 50 Bordeaix spray to curb unexpected attacks.
Pigs At Weaning Time Gain With Grain Rations
At weaning, pigs should receive grain rations that include milk or skim milk in adequate quantities. A good pasture supports growth, and well managed pigs aim for about one pound daily weight gain. Self feeders offer convenient feeding of corn and forage, keep feed dry and available, and often yield better gains than hand feeding.
Treating Potato Seed Increases Usual Yield
Seed potatoes treated three to four weeks before planting show no sprout delay from disease organisms. Early treatment reduces dormancy time and speeds growth to harvest readiness. Over eight years in Kansas test plots, treating potatoes increased average yield by 22 bushels per acre.
