HOGS HARVEST CORN WELL
lege of Agriculture, University
Of Missouri.

The practice OF hogging off corn Is

among pork producers. The scarcity
of farm labor, the cost OF harvesting
and the further fact that II has been

pork may be produced from an acre
of corn when harvested by the hogs

growing popularity OF such practice
