Why Cattle Prices Have Fallen And Causes Behind It
H F Pinpell of Edger County Illinois analyzes cattle pricing in a Farmers' Review piece. He argues abundant feed, late fall purchases, and widespread refinancing fed a flood of cattle into feed lots, pushing market timing and margins downward. He claims market manipulation excludes feeders from profits while consumer prices stay high, and space constraints limit exports.

Dairy Advice From Iowa Commissioner on Milk Quality
The Iowa dairy commissioner warns against cans with seams and urges sealing seams with solder if unavoidable. Wash cans with a brush and rinse in boiling water, not with cloth. Reject claims that one or two washings of band separators suffice or that weekly deliveries are needed. Law penalties apply for delivering unclean milk or cream. Daily cream delivery and post-use separator washing are advised to ensure high butter quality. The message ends with a note that greater snow means a healthier season.
