Adapting Animal Husbandry Extension Work to Changing Conditions

Ohio Experiment Station

Abstract

There is no need to spend time painting the unsatisfactory live stock picture which, for the most part, exists at the present time. Surely, all know that with the possible exception of wool, that live stock and their products are not making satisfactory returns.

To meet these conditions, live stock extension men could, to the advantage of all, change some of their projects so as to give more attention to lowering costs. Money is so expensive that the small amount received from this year's sales of live stock need be carefully expended, else it will not reach far enough to produce next year's crop of live stock.

I believe whole-heartedly in the program which emphasizes the production of a quality or market-topping product when this product is apt to give greatest returns, but there are a great many cases where this policy will not increase returns sufficiently to cover the increased costs.
