Dairying and Poultry Set to Boost Ohio Farm Profit in 1928
Miller notes that dairying and poultry together account for about one third of Ohio farm business. After 1937 shortages, feed scooping and tighter supply eased by 1928, with seeds plentiful and egg dairy demand rising. Poultry flocks remain 7 to 8 percent below normal while eggs move to consumption channels. If demand persists, dairy and egg sectors will improve profits in 1928 compared with 1937.
