Storage Temperature Guidelines for Potatoes
Cornell University experimental station reports three years of tests showing 65 F for the first ten days reduces rot and water loss by about half. New potatoes have thin skins that thicken during storage, and higher early temps help heal cuts, lowering rat germ entry. after ten days, revert to about 35 F.

Manure and Fertilizer Use in Dairy Farming Profits
Hoard's Dairy Man notes that barnyard manure alone often fails to maximize yields on all soils. Farms should supplement manure and legumes with commercial fertilizer to achieve the largest profits on investment.
Losses by Erosion Affect Many Crops
Analysis notes that soil erosion reduces yields and raises costs across major crops. Cotton and corn yields declined from late 19th to early 20th century levels despite better methods, with erosion blamed alongside marginal land. Erosion control via terracing and sodding shows potential to curb losses.
Molasses Boosts Gains in Ohio Calf Test
Ohio experiment station fed 20 steer calves per lot for 40 weeks with molasses at one half to one pound daily. Molasses increased corn consumption and gains.
