Many of Pennsylvania’s more
progressive swine breeders have
consigned pens of four boars, each
from one sire and one or two lit
ters. Boars on test are from the
Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire, and
Landrace breeds. Weighing be
tween 40 and 65 pounds on deliv
ery, the boars are given a one- to
two-week adjustment period de
pending on their weight, weighed
at least every two weeks, and
taken off test when the pen weight
Arena
averages 230 pounds.
Test measurements used to de
termine index values include aver
age daily gain, pen feed efficien
cy, and backfat thickness and loin
eye area, as determined by
ultrasonic scan. The boars are also
evaluated for structural and breed
ing soundness by a committee of
swine breeders and University
swine specialists. The animals
must meet minimum requirements
for soundness and underline to be
considered for die sale, which will
feature approximately the top 75
percent, by index, of the sound
boars.

Berks County farmers will remove
1,708 acres from crop production
to conservation uses, according to
Richard Troutman, chairman of
the,Berks County ASCS office.
“The acreage reduction land
makes up the total cropland
removed from production under
therl993 farm programs,” Trout
man said. “Generally, this is eligi
ble land that has been devoted to a
small grain or row crop in one of
the past five years.”
By removing this acreage from
crop production, a tremendous
savings of soil and water resour
ces will be realized. To protect it
from wind and water erosion, the
idled cropland acreage may be
covered with either trees, grass,

‘To be eligible for full program
benefits, producers must maintain
conservation protection on this
acreage throughout the program
year,” Troutman said, “and keep
the land free from weeds, insects,
and rodents.” The ASCS official
said producers who fail to carry
out conservation provisions of the
1993 acreage reduction program
contract will be out of compliance
and ineligible for price support
loons, deficiency payments, and
other program benefits.
Nationally. 19.9 million acres
of cropland will be idled under the
1993 farm programs and devoted
to conserving use.
