Late Crops and Forage Plants for Iowa Farmers 1903
Unprecedented rains delay Iowa farmers from planting corn and floods ruin crops in parts of the state. The Experiment Station offers late 90 day corn options and suggests forage crops like corn hay sweet corn fodder sorghum millet and kafir corn as alternatives. Guidance covers seeding rows spacing and harvesting methods with cautions on quality and palatability. A list of seed dealers is provided and a future bulletin will detail harvesting storing and feeding techniques.
