Book Description
Chemical analyses of five recently developed yellow-endosperm, grain sorghum hybrids reveal that lysine content ranged from 0,19% to 0,23%, crude protein content ranged from 9,81% to 10,0%, while gross energy values were essentially the same. Feeding trials of one of these grain sorghum hybrids, compared with corn, revealed that weight gains, average daily, feed intakes, and feed-to-gain ratios were similar(p>.05) for pigs fed either the grain sorghum diet or the corn diet. Results of a growing-finishing trial with swine fed weither a corn diet or a diet composed of lightweight grain sorghum (52 ib/bu) showed that feed efficiency was reduced (p=.05) in pigs fed the lightweight grain sorghum diet. When extra soybean meal and grease were added to the grain sorghum diet to male it similar to the corn diet in amino acids and energy, there was no significant difference in performance on the two diets. A palatability trial with weanling pigs fed diets containing either crushed wheat, ground wheat, equal parts of ground wheat and ground corn, or ground corn revealed that pigs consumed 52 percent more of the crushed wheat diet than all other diets combined. A second trial with pigs fed the same four diets throughout the growing-finishing perid provided evidence that pigs fed the crushed wheat diet required less feed (p

Book Description
First published in 1977, this book—from one of America’s most famous and prolific agricultural writers—became an almost instant classic among homestead gardeners and small farmers. Now fully updated and available once more, Small-Scale Grain Raising offers a entirely new generation of readers the best introduction to a wide range of both common and lesser-known specialty grains and related field crops, from corn, wheat, and rye to buckwheat, millet, rice, spelt, flax, and even beans and sunflowers. More and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real stumbling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grown mainly on large, distant corporate farms. At the same time, commodity prices for grains—and the products made from them—have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs and increased demand. In this book, Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can (and should) think outside the agribusiness box and learn to grow healthy whole grains or beans—the base of our culinary food pyramid—alongside their fruits and vegetables. Starting from the simple but revolutionary concept of the garden “pancake patch,” Logsdon opens up our eyes to a whole world of plants that we wrongly assume only the agricultural “big boys” can grow. He succinctly covers all the basics, from planting and dealing with pests, weeds, and diseases to harvesting, processing, storing, and using whole grains. There are even a few recipes sprinkled throughout, along with more than a little wit and wisdom. Never has there been a better time, or a more receptive audience, for this book. Localvores, serious home gardeners, CSA farmers, and whole-foods advocates—in fact, all people who value fresh, high-quality foods—will find a field full of information and ideas in this once and future classic.
