Farmers Sacrificing Cheap Feed By Stampeded Barley
Farmers ignore bargain barley due to publicity, says L F Rickey of the University of Illinois, noting barley can be a cost effective feed. Sheep tests show barley with scab is acceptable, cattle tolerate it, hogs may suffer digestive issues, and barley aids poultry mixtures. At current prices, barley costs about 1.25 cents per pound versus 1.5 for corn oat mixes, implying a potential $5 per ton saving.

Ageing soils threaten Illinois farm yields across state
E A Norton of the University of Illinois outlines for southern soils an old age stage and warns central and northern soils will age similarly. He notes faster change in the north due to weathering and frost, and cites under drainage and lime addition as methods to slow ageing by reducing clay pan, leaching, and organic matter loss.
