Sanitary McLean method shows pork gains in Iowa farms
Farm editor reports on J Uban and Fp L Quaife touring Black Hawk County swine operations using the McLean system. Sows are scrubbed before farrowing, pens cleaned, and pigs kept on clean ground to reduce worm issues. Early results from Kreger, Thompson, Porter, Hansen show improved growth, fewer losses, and easier feeding with sweet clover pasture and targeted worm control not used on McLean-raised pigs. Water access varied. some farmers piped surface-water to barrels, others hauled water.

Hog raiser plans alfalfa shift and yard housing
Farmer Hansen considers fencing off hog houses or trying a new alfalfa patch on ground where previous homes stood. He kept hogs by hand and self feeders, spending 16 minutes daily feeding skim milk. A hollow tile winter shed aids feeding and sleeping quarters. He aims to stock $10,000 worth of hogs this year after selling enough to cover over half that value.
