Oats Unprofitable Compared With Soy Beans In NJ
Professor G W Musgrave of the College of Agriculture in New Brunswick says oats are less profitable than soy beans in New Jersey rotations. Soy beans cost 34 per acre to grow versus 30 for oats, yield 1 2 to 4 tons per acre, and are worth 55 per acre at maturity versus 28 for oats. Soy beans fix nitrogen, improve soil, and can replace hay in feeding. A soil and seed inoculation method is described in Extension Bulletin 32. Prompt harvest is needed when preceding wheat.

Water warming boosts pig gains in Ames feeding trial
In an Ames experiment feeding trial pigs given warm water via automatic troughs matured faster and used less feed. Pigs with old style troughs took 111 days to reach 225 pounds and used 423 pounds of feed per 100 pounds gained. Warmed water pigs reached 225 pounds in 106 days using 879 pounds of feed per 100 pounds gained, yielding a $7.13 feed-cost profit per pig and $1.70 extra profit per pig overall.

Green Manure Crops Draw on Soil Moisture
Green manure crops such as rye and sweet clover draw on soil moisture, requiring careful weather watching in spring. If rainfall is low, rye can deplete water, stressing corn and risking drought damage. disking or plowing under early helps, while pasturing reduces water use. Sweet clover decays fast and may leave moisture tension after turning under.
