Pedometer Helps Farm Woman Save Steps in Daily Meals
Paul Caswell of Cherokee cites a farm woman who used a pedometer to cut daily kitchen walking from about five miles to 2.6 miles after rearranging her equipment with help from a cooperative extension agent. This freed time for reading writing and sewing while preserving meal quality. Also notes Iowa State College expert D. Hughes warns that one third of the corn crop may be immature at frost risking 100 to 200 million bushels of loss unless proper drying and crib management are used including central ventilators.
