Eleven Counties To Exhibit At Swine Show
The district swine show on Monday at 7 p.m. at the Franklin County Sales Barn in Ottawa will feature producers from Franklin and ten other counties. A futurity barrow class with thirteen entered pigs, four divisions, and judging by Wilson and Company will precede a pork barbecue meeting March 9 where Hog carcass data will be shared and guest speaker Bob Hines will discuss Hampshire breeding. All pork producers are invited. Cool season grass pastures benefit from lime and soil tests, with Kansas State agronomists advising lime first, then nitrogen and phosphate and potassium based on results to establish or improve fescue pastures in Labette County.

Pork marketing margins widen between farm and retail prices
USDA data show farmers receive about 45 to 50 percent of pork consumer dollars. In 1971 Q3 retail pork averaged 71.3 cents per pound while net farm value was 33.7 cents, with farm margins around 42.04 dollars per hog-to-retail total. Margins have widened since 1966 as costs rise and efficiency fails to compensate.

Sediment as a Pollutant and Agricultural Role
Earl L. Wier defines sediment as a major water pollutant and outlines its dual harm to land and water. Agriculture contributes to sediment sources, while improved practices reduce damage. Streams transport sediment dynamically, eroding banks unless channels are nonerodible.
