Editorial Suggestions for Wheat and Farm Management Practices
Begin now to prepare for your wheat crop by plowing and borrowing land. Shade for hog pastures improves welfare and productivity. Keep farm tools sharpened to reduce labor. Mix turpentine and hog lard to protect trees from worms and rabbits. Hay is a profitable crop on rich soil, with two tons per acre favoring soil enrichment. Cow peas offer green manure benefits when grown with corn, and fat content in cows affects milk composition. The Ohio Station findings show fat in the cow’s body can influence milk fat, guiding feeding and fat management.
