Researchers Woodhouse Jr. and Barrick note 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre maximizes gains though seed harvest offers different economics.

Hog farming advice from NCSU expert boosts profits
North Carolina extension head Jack Kelley says long term hog production beats timed exits, forecasting 1953 pig crops and NC sow farrow totals. He urges only sow, large litters, clean ground, Ladino clover grazing, meat-type hogs, timely marketing, and cost effective feeds to raise profits amid prices and feed shortages. Insecticide resistant house flies may be controlled with chemical baits, per USDA entomologists. Twelve fruit and vegetable grower schools will be held in NC towns this winter.
