An exploration of Easter State pig farming methods highlights feeding with pollard and crushed grains, clean housing in galvanised iron sheds, brick floors for cleanliness, ventilation via adjustable louvres, skylights, and pens for ten pigs. Success stems from quality feed and proper growth rather than mere machinery.
Agricultural results show higher yields when land is roughened early in the fallow, based on Merredia Farm data from 1924 to 1929. Early June ploughing produced about 51 pounds more grain per bushel of yield than late August work, with depth of initial ploughing 3 to 4 inches and disc or mouldboard implements. The choice of tool depends on soil, and springtyne cultivators suit some conditions. Superphosphate dressings boosted yield on lighter soils, while excessive applications on heavy forest country reach diminishing returns.
