A layer needs a specific amount of protein to economically
produce eggs to the limit of her genetic ability. It’s possible to
' waste protein both through over feeding as well as under feeding!
Research shows that weather conditions greatly influence a layer’s
nutritional requirements. When cold weather causes birds to eat
more total feed, protein content is reduced. Conversely, hot weather
normally reduces intake, so Wayne increases the protein level.
It’s a program that makes a lot of sense. See us today for the feed
that keeps production UP and feed costs DOWN.

Stay With
Agriculture
If there’s a farm in your future,
stay with it.
Future food demands for an
ever-increasing world population
are beyond practical com
prehension. A hungry world is
visible today, and it’s likely that
the population may more than
double within 30 years. This
means just one thing; farming
will take on even greater im
portance in supplying food and
fiber as each year goes by. That’s
why we say, “Stay with it, if you
can.”
Fri.
If farming is not in your future,
stay with agriculture - in agri
business. You can bet your future
on the opportunities available in
businesses related to farming.
Agri-business is one of the
nation’s largest growing in
dustries, and it will continue to
grow. Because, furnishing the
supplies and services required by
agriculture is no small task. A
growth of 10-20 percent each year
is projected.
