Soil Conservation Boosts Halter Farm Yields in Westminster
Charlies L Halter of Westminster credits soil conservation with rising corn yields by at least one third and similar gains in wheat and silage corn. Contour planting, contour strip cropping, fence relocation, and more alfalfa were adopted after help from Carroll Soil Conservation District, improving hay fields and pasture, reducing erosion, and letting a 75 acre farm run efficiently with a small tractor while milk and poultry production expanded.

Use of Electric Pig Brooder Recommended
Ural G. Bee from the University of Maryland cites a farmer who lost half of his spring pig crop without heat at farrowing. He notes electric pig brooders prevent losses and heat is vital in cold weather. Breeders may shift litters earlier, February 1 as spring cutoff, to show at summer events and aid early farrowing. Bee also recommends feeding pasture and alfalfa products to keep sows and pigs thrifty until pasture appears.
