Missouri leads in flock improvement plan adoption
Farm Bureau News reports Missouri has adopted a definite flock improvement policy via Circular 105 from the Missouri College of Agriculture. The Lafayette County example cites Mrs. Chas Seuser of Corder whose certified flock, selected and banded in 1920 after successive culling and egg-record tracking, demonstrates the program’s results. The article notes plans for expanding certified flocks, with Tounsley and county agents preparing additional breeders and culling practices, while also noting Lafayette’s lack of certified seed producers for wheat and a seed-certification program allied with the Missouri Corn Growers Association.
