Farmers should separate pullets from older birds and feed a protein rich mash to stimulate egg production. Use skim milk when available with a scratch mix of cracked corn wheat and heavy oats or a bran middlings and corn meal mash if dairy by products are scarce. Increase animal protein to 15 20 percent as pullets mature and sell or separate male birds to free space for layers.
The text lists aims of plowing such as burying organic matter and weeds, pulverizing soil to form a better seed bed, and aiding water absorption and runoff control.
