The USDA data show pasture accounts for about a third of feed for market milk and beef cattle in seven districts, while only one-seventh of feed costs.

Lime and phosphate help depleted permanent pastures by promoting desirable grasses and legumes and reducing weeds.

The text lists various unit conversions for bin storage: a bushel equals 1.25 cubic feet, a cubic foot equals 0.8 bushel, one bushel of ear corn contains 2% cubic feet, and a bin height calculation uses floor area times 8 divided by 10 to yield bushels per foot. For circular bins radius-based volume uses pi approximations, and notes 1 cubic foot equals 7% gallons while one bushel equals 8% or 8,375 gallons.

Quoits and horsehoe pitching emerge as easy local sports, with a twilight barnyard golf idea for all ages. Contour farming creates irregular plots left fallow, now addressed by electric fencing to lure odd-shaped areas back into cultivation.
