Laying Hens Need Adequate Water For Top Production
Water access is crucial for high laying hen production and is especially strained in hot weather. Hens drink more at 90°F, refuse at over 100°F, and prefer 48–60°F water. Manual restrictions risk forgetting to restore supply, so careful control or automated systems are advised.
Cornell Varieties Up Value of Crops About $90 Million

Hybrid corn now dominates New York acreage with 24 million dollars in net value from increased yield. Alfalfa improvements contributed about 55 million dollars in hay savings.
