Riley Aims At Marketing 6 000 Hogs
Riley expands his Ohio hog operation with two 46 sow automatic barns and six pole buildings. The plan targets 4 000 market hogs next year and 6 000 by 1970 while adding a self contained farrowing unit and ventilation heated floors for better feed conversion and disease control. DeVoe notes weekly veterinary checks and a 60 degree core temp, with 90 day growth from 42 to ~210 pounds. The project will exceed 250 000 dollars investment and aims for 10 dollar net per hog next year.

Ohio Dairying Remains Major Income Source
A statewide dairy testing report shows about 2 000 Ohio farmers still in dairying with 1966 gross sales of 240 371 000 and veal calf and cow sales of 30 492 000. Dairy income accounts for 20.8 percent of Ohio's total 1 301 819 000 in gross sales, with swine and beef cattle close behind. New legislation aims to clarify labeling of dairy substitutes to help consumers distinguish real milk products from imitations. Nutrition experts warn diet deficiencies persist, stressing the need for clear nutritional value beyond labeling while households consider cheaper substitutes.
