Grain For Hogs On Pasture And Grain Costs
Hogs on pasture profit hinges on grain cost. If pasture is abundant and grain pricey, feeding corn alone with limited ration lowers costs. Small amounts of protein feed like tankage or skim milk aid pigs under 100 pounds, while large hogs on high protein pastures such as alfalfa clover rape or soybeans raise production costs.
Proper Time to Cut Wheat
Agricultural guidance from Farmers Bulletin 885 advises cutting wheat when straw has faded and grains are not fully hardened to avoid shriveled kernels. Cutting too early causes shattering loss, while waiting for full ripeness bleaches grain and increases handling difficulty. For large fields, begin cutting as early as safely possible.
