Poultry expert Mr. Geos Robertson warns against winter overfeeding of turkeys kept for POPock and advises a diet rich in alfalfa or clover hay with sparing use of scratch grain and constant access to grit oyster shell and water. Near egg production, gradually reduce rations to resemble ordinary fowl feeding with a varied non stimulating mash enriched by alfalfa meal and occasional raw liver and cod liver oil. Green feed in variety is essential.

Summersallow Substitutes For Intertfited Crop Trials
Summer substitutes like corn and potatoes were tested at the experimental station. Potatoes showed the highest average value but market uncertainty and small yields in dry years limit large scale use. Corn provided better value as a summer ration substitute and can be grown in early maturity for hogging off or later for fodder or ensilage. Proper cultivation is crucial to keep fields weed free, and late frost can ruin fodder yield. Sunflowers and wheat in rows did not outperform corn.
