the farmer who raises corn either for his own feed lot or for the feed lot of a neighbor cattle feeder this years corn crop over the west willbe will be nearly as larg as that of last season if there should be a decrease in the feeding of cattle what is the farmer to do with his corn crop at the present price of corn most farmers find it unprofitable to raise corn for the direct return it will make when sold on he market on the other hand if each farmer feeds some cattle hogs or sheep he can use his own corn and even though he should not make much out of his cattle feeding in a direct way his condition at the end of the season will be better the corn he raised will have made him a good return on the capital and labor invested |
