Soil conservation pays off on Bohr family farm terraces
Howard Bohr and his brother Harold run 60 cows across a terrace and pond system installed in 1971. They report near zero erosion, a return to farming condition, and reduced creek fence replacements. Fertilizer costs are main maintenance, with 400 pounds of 33 percent nitrogen used yearly in split applications. They aim for 100 percent calf crop and 500 pound calves per cow, along with one cow per acre, but have not yet achieved all three simultaneously. Bohr, a Soil Conservation Service commissioner, praises the pasture setup and multi-field water system feeding a shared tank.

ISU Economist Sees Little Farm Price Impact From Ceilings
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell says the March 29 price ceilings on beef pork and lamb will have little effect on future production if meat packer and retailer margins are strictly enforced. He notes ceilings target margins rather than live animal prices and that effective enforcement could keep live cattle hog and lamb prices from rising, while consumer resistance and slower wholesale movement already constrain prices.
