Lancaster Firming, Saturday, April 21,1990-A3l
off stacks of newspaper at Martin’s
farm. Martin shredded the paper
and used some of it for bedding on
his SO-head steer farm. The rest
was baled and placed at the
auction.
Martin will continue to shred
paper for his own farm, but admit
ted he “needs a bigger shredder.”
Elvin Hursh, a steer farmer in
Lititz, purchased the bales for
bedding.
“About a week ago, I used the
first of it,” said Hursh. About 20
bales were placed on top of a bed
of com fodder for about 50 head of
steer at the farm. About 40 bales
remain on a wagon in a storage
shed, ready for spreading.
“If the paper is cheap and I need
more of it. I’ll use it again,” said
Hursh, noting that straw costs

about $7O to $l3O a ton, and paper
bedding is less than half the cost
“We’ve had some mixed
reports about using shredded
newspaper for bedding,” Rohr
bach said. ‘‘Some say it is a pretty
good substitute, tliat it is cheaper
than straw and does a decent job,
and others say that straw is better.
The jury is still out on this one.”
