Corn Prospects In Iowa Farmland Planting Report

Judging by the college farm, Iowa shows fair corn prospects. Uplands were planted May 10 to 20, a low bottom waited until early June, then bands disced and harrowed to finish by May 10, except twenty acres for millet. Heat will largely determine the crop outcome.

Blue grass seed saving touted for farmers in West

The Kentuckians offer a seed harvesting machine that frees blue grass seed from standing grass without cutting it. Iowa has saved little seed while some states have more. Spring seed costs run about two dollars for fourteen pounds in chaff, but saving could drop to ten cents per bushel if gathering by hand were the only method. A harvester can cut, bind, shock, and thresh like timothy, making blue grass seed feasible to add income for farmers, especially in newer western areas where demand grows. Dairy prices are noted as low.
