The price difference among various grades of alfalfa hay is far greater than the feeding value difference. George Winwright, assistant farm advisor told Meloland and Jasper Farm Centers during the past week.
Winwright, who exhibited several sample grades of hay to his audiences, urged a program which would keep the lower grade hay in the valley for feeding and ship the higher grade hay to the Los Angeles market.
That program would serve a two-fold purpose, Winwright said. In the first place it would insure lower feeding costs to livestock men and it would keep the lower grade hay off the market as a competitor for the top grade product.
Farmers would receive better price for their hay and would cut the feeding cost nearly 20 per cent.
Winwright was the principal speaker at the Meloland center meeting and one of four speakers at the Jasper meeting. Wade Ramsey, A. J. Spizzy and Wes Anderson gave short talks at the Jasper center meeting.
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor spoke at a meeting of the Alamoverde farm center Friday night.
