Pigs Thrive on Mixed Feeds at Iowa State College Event
Ames Ia Nov 16 Over 1200 Iowa farmers gathered for the annual Whoo-Dey day by the animal husbandry station at Iowa State College. Trials show Trinity and Big 10 mixtures plus tankage and alfalfa meal boost margins over feed costs, especially with pigs on pasture or in dry lots. Cross breds from Poland China boars and Duroc Jerseys average higher gains than purebreds, with individual sow performance varying widely. Dr Evvard urges practical selection methods prioritizing production and type to build a high producing herd.

Treat Seed Corn For Dry Rot, Ames Expert Says
Lincoln Iowa November 16 Iowa State college extension specialist R H Porter says Iowa farmers should treat seed corn next spring to combat dry rot. Tests show dust treatments increase yields about 3 to 3.5 bushels per acre, though not curing existing infections. He notes dusts delay disease until germination and that disease free seed and artificial drying may aid future seed work.
