A University of Wisconsin statement urges farmers to maintain winter egg production. It notes hens can lay nearly as many eggs in winter as in summer with proper housing, warmth, light, litter, and ample drinking water.

Ventilation Needed in Hog Houses During Winter
Fresh air should be supplied to hog houses where most are air tight. Galvanized runners on ridges fail when doors and windows stay closed in storms. On cold nights ventilation is essential, but opening doors causes a draught for pigs. Install fresh air inlets at little cost to bring in air without a draught.
Minor Hog Ailments Warned To Be Owner Treated
When hogs show deviation in gait appetite or digestion owners should act to prevent losses. Minor ailments can often be treated by the owner but if in doubt calling a veterinarian is wise.
Straw stack value not realized in farming
Farmers underestimate straw value. Fertilizing value from a ten acre wheat field ranges from 25 to 40 dollars. Using straw as bedding and manure as fertilizer saves this value and absorbs substantial liquid manure that might otherwise be wasted.
