The Week on the Farm Thaddeus Reports Rural Market and Field Notes
Thaddeus reviews rodent control on farms with rodenticide freshness and bait station routine. He notes beans ready to harvest, wet field spots from rains, early corn stored in ventilated cribs, pastures revived by rain, and wheat thriving. Waterways restored and seeded reduce erosion risk as cold weather nears. Hog market shows strength at 18 dollars, while corn market remains weak and the 1968 feed grain program expectation looms for rural prosperity.
