Wheat and corn yields amid drought across the farm district
Frank Hoffman led the market with winter wheat bought by Akron Milling Co, yielding 17 14 bushels per acre at 85 cents a bushel. James Agnes reported 20 bushels per acre on the Jas Ross farm, while others south of town yielded 10 to 15. Drought trimmed overall yields to about two thirds, though spring wheat looked strong. Oats will be light while corn shows favorable growth and tasseling, needing rain to sustain its rise.
