FEED LETTER
RESEARCH FARMS?
A lot of feed companies conduct research in an at
tempt to find better feed formulas. Some will adopt
university research, and others ban together for a joint
effort While many good improvements resulted from
each of these types of effort, it does cause questions to
arise Those companies that rely on university research
for instance If the research comes from the same
place, might the feeds be the same? Would the joint
ventures have feeds similar to each other?
Well at least the companies with their own research
staffs should have something different, or could their
farms just be show places, used more to impress
people, rather than for meaningful research 7 Ever
wonder how many of them have mills that they can use
to find out if that new formula can be made, then stored
in a farmer's bin, or if it will work in automated
equipment 7

have been made. One of the in
teresting changes in the 4-H
symbol Many countries have
adopted a symbol similar to the 4-
H clover.
In Brazil, the clover contains 4-
S’s, which represent Saber (to
know), Sentir (to feel), Servir (to
serve), and Saude (health)
Ecuador’s 4-H clubs use the
clover symbol with the letters
signifying the Spanish words for
faith, strength, fertility, and
happiness
In some countries, the symbol
is quite different from the four
leaf clover. In Western Germany,
for example, the symbol is a
shield with three heads of grain
growing out of a ring.
In Venezuela, the symbol is five
V’s set on a shield. One “V”
stands for Venezuela, the others
are for truth, dignity, valor, and
vigor.
