Pork Production 



forages most highly recommended are alfalfa, clover, 

 rape, green rye, pumpkins, soybeans, and cowpeas. Ex- 

 cepting alfalfa and clover, these crops are often planted 

 in the field with the corn. When the stand of corn is 

 good and the rainfall favorable, a good yield of forage 

 may be expected. In case the stand of corn is below 

 average and weather conditions are favorable during 

 the growing months, the yield of forage should be 

 abundant.

 cost of production, $11.15 an acre, rather than at the market 

 price of the grain in the field.
