Farm topics urge efficient farming and preservation
Farmers should favor clean eggs, efficient corn storage, and turning roughage into usable feed. Beginners in sheep should buy a few ewes and grow the business. Deep freezers could store a billion pounds of meat if households use more space for meat. Logging and lumber quality depend on proper sawing and center dryness to prevent cracking and rot. Clover seed production in Iowa improves in 1950 with an estimated 260000 bushels, though Iowa remains fourth in 1950 after decades of growth. High producing cows cost little more to feed and care for, yet yield higher returns. The mild fall allows tiling and drainage work now, reducing wet spots for spring farming, with contractors available through Christmas to boost next year’s production.
