Do Cow Peas in Corn Pay for Hog Grazing
An agricultural note from the Raleigh Progressive Farmer reports J. W. Fox of the Mississippi Agricultural Experiment Station showing 17 acres of cowpeas sown in corn, grazed by 51 spring pigs, yielding 2,808 pounds of pork and 170 pounds per acre. Pork value at 6 cents and fertilizer value from cowpeas raise total benefits to about $20.60 per acre. The piece ends with a quip that a gold mine would pay some people, as would cowpeas.
