Reference
To help farmers across the state
to have handy reference of com
modity input costs in their feeding
operations for DHIA record sheets
or to develop livestock feed cost
data, here’s last week’s average
costs of various ingredients as
compiled from regional reports
across the state of Pennsylvania.
Remember, these ate averages,
so you will need to adjust your fig

We have continued
this practice even
though com is currently
much cheaper. Refusal
feed and delivered feed
stays the same. This
should be a goal of a
TMR. It is yours?
Molasses may be the
dinosaur of feeds that is
ready for a comeback.
