He says corn should be redirected from heavy cattle to produce more pork and medium-weight beef to meet beef and industrial needs, with adjustments including lower feeder costs and increased roughage.

Farm tenancy plan urges flexible rent tied to prices
Farmers may benefit from a system where landlord and tenant set a fair rent for a period and then adjust it after that term based on changes in farm product prices. The plan allows increasing or decreasing payments as prices rise or fall, helping manage forage, hogs, cattle, and grain.

The 1942 hatch total is about 96 million with 6 million more expected, compared with 65 million in 1940, suggesting ample supply and favorable prices for fried chicken.
