Carrots for Stock in Favor with City Farmers
The Chicago Times notes increasing demand for carrot feed for horses and livestock, with profits high per acre. Carrot crops yield 16 to 20 tons per acre in good soil, require May sowing, careful spacing, and reliance on manure. Smaller roots like the long orange variety dominate production. mangels and turnips prove harder to process. Labors can be hired cheaply, and near cities land can be profitable despite hard work.
