Book Description

More livestock must be fed this year than last, and with less grain. Stocks of feed grains carried over at the close of the 1943-44 feed year are expected to be the smallest since the severe droughts of the 30's, and the rate of feeding per animal unit may be as much as 10 percent below the 1942-43 rate. Although the outlook is for a total feed supply only 4 percent lower than last year's record, livestock requirements will make it necessary to stretch available feeds so as to make the most of them in every way.
