Harry Greenwood, who bought the Greenwood farm from his father, Mel Greenwood, an exe- cutive member of the Ontario soil and crop association, told of the farm operation. The 170 acres planted in corn this year yielded close to 100 bushels an acre. A 4,900-bushel bin was filled from 51 acres. The corn is ground, then used with a concentrate mixture, to feed poultry. He said the field directly behind the barn, used for corn during the past three years, has almost 100-percent weed control. soybeans, for example, then have a balanced ration for the big animals."

"In the next 10 to 15 years," he said, "we might have 200 bushels to the acre, even 300, I think we will go away beyond the terms we know today. Methods of feeding corn will change, too.
