Hog farming in Republican Valley Nebraska 1895 notes
A first person reminiscence from a Nebraska farmer born in Tuva in 1874 recounts starting with little, raising 150-200 hogs annually on 860 acres with 30 alfalfa, feeding in winter with hay and alfalfa, and selling over $1000 worth of hogs in 1895 while praising alfalfa and corn as the keys to pork profitability. The writer notes favorable conditions in the Republican Valley and southern Nebraska, and comments on market timing and transport routes through major railways.
