Low-Priced Wheat Can Substitute Feed For Livestock
Wheat priced at 1.25 per bushel in mid-July 1967 matches the feed value of corn at 1.10 per bushel and, about 20 cents cheaper, offers an economical substitute. Wheat provides more protein and nutrients, suits dairy cattle over time, and moist wheat stored in silos preserves quality.

Wheat and protein supplement boost pig growth claims
Dr. George Morrow notes ground wheat with a protein supplement can match corn in pig gains. Wheat provides more protein, reducing needed supplement. Wheat-fed pigs may eat more grain per 100 pounds of gain, but bacon is firmer. Grinding helps hand feeding, not required in self feeders, and wheat should be mixed with other grains.
