Young Farmer Near Bainbridge Holds
Costs by Learning Feeding Tricks
(Continued from page 10)
Farm grown grains form the
basis of his feeding program Most
of the feed on the farm is a
grain supplement mixtuie
In the largest of his operations,
the swine program, he last year
fed pigs from birth to slaughter
for 13 7 cents per pound of grain
The cost from weaning time to
slaughter was only 10 7 cents per
pound of gain.
The low cost feed program
starts with the sow. In a free
choice ration the sows get 500
pounds of chopped hay, 500
pounds of chopped ear corn, 300
pounds of oats, 300 pounds of 32
per cent piotem supplement, iVa
pounds of salt and IV2 pounds
ground limestone in each feeder
This will total 1,600 pounds.
Doth the hay and corn cobs are
designed to add bulk to the ra
tion If silage were available on
the farm, Strickland says that he
might shift to that method ot
feeding sows The rations is
changed at breeding time to a
special flushing ration
Pigs are fed whole shell com
and 40 per cent supplement pel
lets after being weaned Next
year Stuckland plans to expand
his barley acreage and tiy feed
ing ground barley free choice to
the pigs
On this program pigs ai e fed to
Crush in 100 days Last year
Stuckland hit a 22 cent hog mar
ket for his meaty market pigs.
Paying $4O a ton for ear corn, this
still left a good profit.
Yorkshire-Landrace cross sows
are being used by the young farm
er. Using a purebred Landrace
boar, he averaged raising 8 7 pigs
per litter.
This year he has purchased a
young Yorkshire boar.
Because of the general low fer
tility level of the farm, he is
using a vigorous fertilization pro
gram. Besides the usual 1,000
pounds of 4-8-12 on tobacco, he
uses 400 pounds of 10-10-10 plow
ed down and another 100 to 150
pounds of 10-10-10 on corn. Hay
crops are top dressed with 0-20-20.
Wheat on the Strickland farm
is used as a cash crop and the
proceeds are used to buy oats.
Strickland says that this pays be
cause oats are too unpredictable
a crop to be grown in that area.
The tobacco acreage is gradu
ailj shrinking and is due to shnnk
more. This year the crop was
sold for 20 cents. But Stuckland
leels that the time spent with
the tobacco can be better utilized
in caring for the livestock and in
doing farm overhaul work on
equipment.
Aa noted before, there is no
silo on the farm at present Strick
land said that plans aie being
made to build an upright silo
near the steer feed lot. Now the
steers are being fed out on hay
and supplement and then finished
Mr and Mrs Strickland have
two boys, thiee and two years
old. He is a member of the Soil
Conservation District, the county
Swine Producers Assn and Christ
Lutheran Church, Elizabethtown
George Myers, voag teacher at
Lampeter-Strasburg High School,
is Strickland’s G I. instructor.
