Near misses in sums of cube numbers explored
The article notes no two integral numbers yield a sum of cubes equal to a cube. Examining cubes 1,8,27,64,125,216,343,512, etc, it cites near misses such as 125 plus 216 equals 341, close to 343, and 216 plus 512 equals 728, near 729. Another near miss is 729 plus 1000 equals 1729, just above 1728, the cube of 12, suggesting continued search among infinite cubes.

High hog and cattle prices affect marketing choices, while new feedings delay selling to market.
