Cattle Feeding in Huron County Sees Shifts in Scale and Credit
The Huron County Cattle Feeders Association notes a shift from small herds to larger operations using automatic feeding gear. Beef cattle contribute about 11 percent of agricultural income, exceeding one million seven hundred thousand dollars annually. By 1960, cattle fed averaged over one million dollars yearly, with 12 to 13 thousand head in cattle, and feeder costs for 200 head projected at 25 000 to 30 000 dollars annually. Credit, exports, and market prices will influence future changes as fewer farms raise cattle.

Bulldozer Wilt Shrinks Shade Trees In Wooster Ohio
Dr G J Bart of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station explains bulldozer wilt a physiological disorder from soil grade changes around trees. Construction or added soil reduces air and root space, suffocating feeder roots and delaying leafing in spring. The Plant Disease Clinic notes many dying maples oaks and other shade trees show no fungal infection.
