Quality Eggs Boosts Profit Amid Harsh Conditions
Ohio poultry specialist R E Cray notes some flocks beat high feed and low egg prices by producing high quality eggs that command premium prices of two to five cents above normal. Key practices include strict flock management, using infertile eggs stored cool and marketed quickly, gathering eggs multiple times daily in heat, rapid cooling, and careful storage in a cool humid room with shaded basements and sun protection during transport.

Greenhouse Growers Control Weather For Tomato Crops
In Cuyahoga County many greenhouse operators regulate sunshine and irrigation to grow tomatoes and lettuce near Cleveland. They plant seed in late fall and harvest from June, with temperatures kept around 50 to 70 degrees by day. A single acre can yield over 40 tons of tomatoes, using about 40 tons of humus and sizable amounts of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash, while water use can reach 1500 tons per acre in a 12 week period. Tomatoes are picked twice weekly over a three month period, with a green stem left on each fruit to show freshness.
