...Conover, that will keep expectant pigs in the pink and enable one man to feed 46 sows in 3½ minutes through a feed mixer with a rotating arm. Conover's maternity ward (cost: $30,000) was displayed last week at an exhibit in Brookston, Ind., which drew a quarter of a million farmers to inspect $50 million worth of the latest in farm equipment...
