TURN HOGS AND LAMBS INTO CORN FIELD 



Corn Belt Farmers Should Turn Them into the Field 



in August 



The cost of harvesting a corn crop is as great as the cost of 

 growing it. 



It is a good plan to sow some rape and soy beans in the corn 

 at last cultivation. It would be fine to have a strip of both 

 rape and soy beans along one side of the corn field. 



When the corn is full grown, turn lambs into the cornfield to 

 eat the lower blades and weeds. The lambs will get an occasional 

 ear of corn. By the time the corn is ripe the lambs will be on full 

 feed of corn that they have pulled down. Now turn hogs in with 

 them and let them all fatten together. 



The lambs will soon get used to the hogs and will eat much of 

 the corn that the hogs break down. By this method the gain on 

 the lambs is almost all extra profit. 



The weeds in the corn fields and the lower blades of 

 corn that go to waste in the corn belt would make thousands 

 of dollars' worth of high grade mutton, if good lambs 

 were turned into the corn fields in August.
