E G Misner of the New York State College of Agriculture says the egg price to feed ratio drives commercial poultry profits. He notes wholesale grain prices run about 74 percent of pre war levels while top grade eggs in New York average 108 percent, favoring growers. High production is key, with about 120 eggs per hen needed. farms averaged 144 eggs on 124 New York farms in 1920, and four times as many eggs produced boosted earnings. A large flock also secures labor income and loan interests. two thousand laying hens or more are needed for full‑time poultry employment.
A Nor'West Farmer note discusses long distance layers in pullets and breeding stock. It cites a Barred Rock hen at Agassiz farm laying 291 eggs as pullet and 2181 eggs in year two, suggesting value in retention for breeding and egg output, with tests showing 187 eggs in two-year-olds across 16 birds and one laying 1076 eggs over five years.
At the Sidney experimental station on Vancouver Island a three year rotation for poultry yards combats internal parasites and disease.

Capper's Farmer writer Erle Peterson of Pembina county North Dakota notes that low protein concentrate raises hog ration costs. He tracked monthly inputs and gains weighing pigs, with costs from 3.50 to 0 per hundred pounds of gain, peaking at 6 during harvest shortfalls, then dropping to 4.50 with ample concentrate. Pigs averaged 204 pounds over 189 days, selling for 2,100 with production costs about 600.
The article explains that home-grown roughage forms the base of a dairy cow diet and that grain or concentrate feeds become necessary to boost production. It notes high-protein legume hays cut grain costs, with alfalfa hay and grains like oats barley and corn suited for cows producing up to 45 pounds of butterfat monthly. It adds higher production may require added high-protein supplements such as linseed or cottonseed meal.
Keith R Kenagy of Page County Iowa advocates strategic feeding to boost dairy profits. He fed cows varied feeds to sustain winter production, then shifted to pasture in May after buying extra hay in April. Production rose from 24.1 to 87.5 pounds per cow in May, showing how early hay feeding helped establish pasture and maximize green succulent feed benefits.
The article discusses winter wheat sowing estimates showing about 10.5 percent less than 1980 and 11 percent below the three year average. It notes easy to build hoghouses, winter construction timelines, and farm well placement guidance. It also covers profitable potato seed rates and alfalfa seed quality affecting germination.
