FOR EXAMPLE; ■ Foot problems are reduced compared with solid concrete or concrete slat flooring ■ Expanded metal ‘‘self-cleans’’ and stays dry better than any other flooring we've evaluated As a result, bacteria buildup is minimized which improves conception rates and overall herd health ■ Boars and sows have better footing during breeding compared with breeding on grooved concrete floors PAUL B.

(Some Delaware farmland can rent for as much as $6O-$9O an acre these days ) After the crop is made, the net profit per acre will be calculated on the average market price for corn at harvest, less the total cost of production (including rent and other fixed and variable costs) As long as the net is less than the base lent, no profit sharing is called foi But if net return exceeds this, then the farmer and-landowner start to share it They may have decided, for example, to split the first/ $5O profit above the $45 per acre base in $lO increments Twenty-five percent of the first $lO may go to the lan dlord and 75 percent to the renter; 30 percent of the next $lO may go to the owner and 70 percent to the farmer, and so on up to a 50-50 split on any net return over $95 This sliding scale takes m- 532 533 715 655 559 545 618 550 And the B7loo’s 16 hp diesel engine will use less fuel than a larger tractor.
