Changes in farming cut costs through mechanization and feed efficiency
By 1980 Illinois farmers expect major advances in livestock production with better feed efficiency and controlled environments cutting feed needs. Swine may consume 2.5 pounds per pound of pork and beef feed per pound could drop to 5.5 pounds. The farm record keeping service grows in importance, aiding producers like Harold McCleary and Edwin Strauss in reducing costs, while broilers shift to rapid growth and lower costs with improved feeding and disease prevention.
