High Feed Ratio In State Favors Goals For Pork Milk Eggs
South Dakota aims for 1944 wartime production gains in pork dairy and poultry with higher feed efficiency. The state war board sets a hog production goal about 2.5 percent above 1943, despite a national drop, citing abundant local feeds and planned acreage increases to aid the war effort. Eggs and milk receive top priority for dehydration and overseas shipment, while eastern dairies face feed deficits and stricter targets.
