These generators should be run once a week to reassure yourself that it’s in good running condition. If it is a tractor hookup type, then take the time to make that connection each week. When the power goes off, you don’t have time to run tests of the equipment to make sure it’s in proper working order. To F.Hmfnati» Feed Waste Feed costs are one of the major items in the production of meat and milk on most farms. Under today’s market conditions, it is very important to keep feed costs in line. With the dry summer conditions, feed grain will be in shorter supply and at a higher price. Most of the money to be made on hogs and cattle will be made on the cost of gains rather than on the margin between first cost and selling price. Therefore, the less feed the animals eat per pound of gain, or pound of milk, the better it will be for the owner. In many cases feed is being wasted. Cracks or holes in feed troughs and feed bunks, are sure to waste feed. Improper adjustment of feeders will waste feed. Check your feeding equipment and be sure the feed is being consumed, not wasted. New Wilmington Livestock Monday, Oct. 31 Report Supplied by PDA CATTLE 283.

FEEDER CATTLE; Medium Apple Market News Monday, Oct. 31 Report Supplied By PDA The demand and the market remain basically the same as last week. Slow movement and low prices are pretty consistent throughout the state. Growers without storage capability are forced to market their crop all at once, thus an over supply of fruit is on the market and thus depressed the price. Retail farm market operations report excellent apple sales. This has been attributed to the good weather this fall and positive at titude the consuming public has this year.
