Put to work helping to feed,
Jeffers was impressed with the
“incredible vibrations” emanating
from the swine production houses
as hungry hogs lined up for
breakfast.
After sharing business
philosophy with Jerry Rutter over
lunch- ham, of course - the host and
guest then spent some time
viewing the farm’s grain
production and handling facilities,
feed rations, and the beef feedlot
end of the Rutter operation.
“One of the most interesting
times was the part of our day spent
on marketing, and the futures,”
says Jeffers. Carolyn, who is in
charge of the hog production
business, daily contacts the
Pennsylvania Farmers
Association’s PACMA marketing
representative. Jeffers par
ticipated in these marketing
evaluation discussions, via
telephone microphones, and was
impressed with tire details studied
in the marketing program.
“That helps tell you where you
have to be, whether yon expand, or
scale back, what to do to survive -
the economics part,” he observed.
“There’s a lot of gamble involved.
That’s the most eye-opening part.”
Jeffers, with a dairy farm
background through boyhood
summers spent on his family’s
Watertown, N.Y., farm, sees the
business part of farming as the
most changed and challenging.
“For hostess Carolyn Rutter, it
was a “very interesting day,”
marked with numerous
discussions on Jeffer’s thought
provoking questions such as “How
can you justify capital in
vestments?” Marketing com
manded much exchange of ideas
and information, as did the current
media attention to the plight of the
family farm and the effect of the
strong U.S. dollar on the export
market.

Jeuers, who does visit farms

climatic conditions for seed
production are idea. To speed up
the seed production, Cornell
researchers raised thousands of
seedlings on the Ithaca campus.
Later, the seedlings were tran
sported to Idaho for transplanting.
“It was a collaborative effort of
researchers, technicians, and seed
growers from the start to the
finish,” Viands says. “Because we
had only one season for seed
production, the seed supply
available this year is tight, but it
should be more plentiful a year
from now.”

alfalfa varieties Oneida and
Vertus. A Cornell variety in use
since 1970, Oneida is a popular
variety grown in the Northeast.
Vertus, from Sweden, was used
as a parent because it has strong
resistance to Verticillium wilt. One
major weakness of this Swedish
alfalfa is its susceptibility to
bacterial wilt, the first major
disease on alfalfa in North
America.
“We were lucky because we
didn’t have to start from
Viands says. We already had two
excellent varieties available to get
the best traits from them. In fact,
Oneida VR is more resistant to the
disease than its Swedish mother. ”
