Farming Tips from the Farm Page
Soy beans should do well on potato land or timothy sod plowed. Kill new weeds which appear on the farm before they get a foothold. Feed your soil and your soil will feed you. Oyster shell will supply the need. Sweet clover makes a good hog pasture and is a hardy legume rich in bone and muscle-building elements for pigs. One acre will pasture twenty or more spring pigs.
Dairy Profitable With Small Herds

Beans Fail to Improve Silage for Dairy Cows
Comparisons of corn silage and corn and soybean silage for dairy cows at the own station show little advantage for either. In two trials cows produced about 2 percent more milk and butterfat on mixed silage, with nearly 4 percent higher returns over feed cost, while a second trial favored corn silage for weight and milk fat. Authorities find little difference in usefulness or palatability between the two silage types.
