The article outlines dairy cow culling to improve profitability and forecasts high dairy product returns into next year. It notes ample burlap supply for potatoes and other commodities, suggests using soft corn for spring pigs, and advises on hog feeding. It emphasizes insulation, weatherizing and roof fire prevention for farm homes and urges readiness of corn harvest machinery and pasture lime for legume seeding.
