A study by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station finds 70 percent of hatching eggs still sourced from independent flocks despite trend toward hatcheries owning eggs.

Lorain County Farm Bureau refunds patronage bonanzas
Shareholders of the Lorain County Farm Bureau Cooperative Association received good news when secretary treasurer Melvin Niggle announced patronage refunds last week. The coop reported net operating savings of 343. refunds are based on member production and include a bonus linked to hatchability. Contracts reference a base price around 64 cents per dozen plus a 1.0 to 1.5 percent per-dozen bonus tied to hatchability, with some agreements offering a guaranteed minimum price. Producers must weigh production costs against the egg sale price and per-dozen earnings under these broiler type contracts.

Extension Bulletin Is Revised by Ohio State Economists
Ohio State University extension economists Drs Riley Dougan and Wallace Barr revise an Agricultural Extension Service bulletin. They trace farm legislation from the Homestead Act of 1862 to the year’s Feed Grain program. They note declining farm numbers and rising production failing to meet population growth, with farmer income lagging nonfarm wages. They discuss cooperative and legislative efforts to raise farmers' economic position and living standard.
