Coltrane Predicts Larger 1944 North Carolina Feed Margin
D S Coltrane told NC feed manufacturers at a Geir meeting that 1944 grain production per animal unit will rise about 10 percent from 1943 due to fewer hogs and broilers. He noted a nationwide grain reduction of about 112 million tons, with corn total near 3,000 million bushels, the fourth largest on record. He also cited a War Food Administration cutbacks and the opening of a livestock auction market in Elkin, NC, to bolster state markets.
