Contour farming boosts corn yields via moisture savings
Clark notes contour operations improve soil moisture, reduce wash, and raise yields. In five years contour rows show 2 to 3 percent higher moisture and higher grain outputs than straight rows, with yearly yield differences shrinking to a consistent advantage for contour farming.

Internal Parasites Cut Hog Profits
The American Foundation for Animal Health explains how worms and internal parasites in hogs cut profits by causing liver and lung damage, reduced resistance to disease, and higher mortality. It cautions that vaccination of wormy hogs should be overseen by a veterinarian and emphasizes immunization against cholera as a preventive measure.
