Protein levels affect cannibalism in confined hogs
Dr Millard P Plumlee reports four finishing studies show 12 percent protein in rations triggers severe ear biting and cannibalism, while 15 percent protein in a corn based diet prevents such behavior even under high crowding. Crowding also lowers gain and feed conversion in Purdue trials led by Plumlee with Cline Krider and Larry Underwood.

Early Wheat Harvest Boosts Indiana Double Cropping
Purdue agronomist L S Beckham notes stronger soy prices push farmers to double crop soybeans in wheat fields after harvest. Wheat can be harvested at 22 percent moisture, or 13 percent with non heat drying if equipment allows, shaving four to five days. A windrower swath method may cut harvest time by seven to 10 days, depending on conditions. Soil moisture at seeding time remains crucial for a successful soybean stand.
