Weather and Crops Outlook for Iowa Revised
The past week saw farming start three weeks earlier than recent averages with over half the usual small grain sown in central and southern districts before March 20. A late March blizzard dropped temperatures near zero, the coldest in a decade, damaging germinating spring grains and forcing re seeds for oats. Winter wheat losses were limited by small acreage. Orchard fruit suffered, especially in the south. Overall farm work advanced. seeding and plowing for corn progressed as showers provided needed moisture and the season runs about a week early with a better outlook than recent Aprils.
