LET SONS RAISE THE PIGS One of the best ways of achieving higher pig production is to capture the interest and support of the rising generation of dairy farmers, said the Minister of Agriculture, Mr C. F. Skinner, in “The New Zealand Journal of Agriculture.” He thinks that farmers on dairy holdings not suitable for subdivision could consider handing over the pig side to a son who might otherwise find insufficient inducement to remain on the property. “Even on a small farm the pig business could be built up for a keen youngster by obtaining extra feed from a factory not processing it or by getting skim milk from neighbouring farmers who from choice or circumstances were not keeping sufficient pigs to cope with all they had,” the Minister stated.
