Sudan grass offers five strong advantages for hay
An Iowa State College report highlights Sudan grass as a reliable hay crop with high yields, low seed cost, easy establishment, late-season seeding, and good drought tolerance. Average yield at the Iowa station is 3.47 tons per acre from two cuttings, with highs to 9.5 tons and lows near 2.2 tons. It can be broadcast and harrowed for best results and has performed well over eight years of observation. Cow peas are not suitable for Iowa, and soybeans outperform them as hay crops.

Start Culling Early Says Iowa Poultry Official
H A Bittenbender of Iowa State College urges early culling of farm flocks after hatch. Crippled diseased and weak chicks should be killed or separated to prevent spread, with further removal of backward or poorly bred birds at broiler stage. Early culling frees housing, saves feed, and can boost prices and summer laying rates.
