Area sheep farmers report flocks wintering well amid cold snap
Local sheep farmers say their flocks are doing well despite a recent cold snap. Tom Hines of LaGrange notes lambing underway with some losses but overall good health, commercial prices around 80 to 85 cents per pound, and purebred market values from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Ronald Twining of Wellington reports six sets of twins and one single with 30 ewes lambing, Suffolk stock, still early on market trends. Walter Denham Sr. of LaGrange says most ewes have lambed, weather mild, crossbred Suffolk flock around 40 old enough to expect a strong year, with optimism for 1988.

Crossbreeding Sugar Maples Promises Sweeter Syrup In Future
Wooster Ohio forest scientist Howard Kriebel has spent 33 years crossbreeding sugar maples to boost sap sweetness. Offspring will not be tappable for about 12 more years, but early results show sap sweeter than natural varieties, with sugar contents from 1 to 7.8 percent and an average around 4.5 percent. The program, rooted at Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, aims to cut trips and fuel use in syrup production once mature. Kriebel distributes seeds to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and monitors hundreds of graft and seed trees annually.
