Future of Livestock Depends On Pastures in Ohio Counties
Soil extension specialists cite southeastern Ohio as a case study where pastures drive livestock production. From 1870 to 1910 permanent pasture acres rose 46 percent, yet per unit livestock support grew from 2.4 to 33 acres. In 1923 farms test improved rations with 14,029 more farms culling unprofitable dairy cattle on 8,332 farms and nearly 10,000 farmers adopting better methods. Ohio poultry men on 1,112 demonstration farms averaged 130 eggs per hen versus state 70. The university extension annual report lists similar figures across farm departments.
