Around the County Agricultural Updates and Calf Performance
Preliminary yield estimates from the Illinois Crop Reporting Service cut wheat and oats expectations. Carroll County yields 38 bu per acre for wheat in 1967 and oats average 64 bu, up from 1966. Beef calves at Glengarry Farm show early weaning and interest in beef performance testing to identify efficient cows and calves. Missouri studies suggest no gain from feeding past low choice grade. Market and farm techniques feature conservation tillage on Jason Johns and related farms with grain drying and storage topics. A Homecoming float flame proofing recipe is included, along with October market watch and corn harvest start at Paul Metz farm Mount Carroll.
