Washington AP reports increased hog production over the past year boosts pork output and expands lard supplies. The Agriculture Department expects current year lard stocks to be eight percent larger than 1969 70, even as per hog yield fell about 10 pounds since the mid-1950s. In 1969 70 the average yield was 22 pounds per hog, but overall output remains up due to more hogs.
A National Soybean Weed Loss Survey shown in a movie and slide report reveals weeds cost the 1970 soybean crop up to 241.8 million dollars and a yield drop of 97 million bushels. Over 20,000 fields were rated by two-man teams led by county farm advisors and Elanco representatives during the week of August 23.
Farmers at the 4-H Center shared irrigation results from July. Irrigated corn averaged 110 to 125 bushels per acre versus 45 to 70 on dry land.
