Oats Gospel Train Promises Bigger Yields Across Midwest
A Iowa driven campaign pushes oats farming with gospel trains led by P. G. Holden and agronomists. They tour Iowa Illinois Missouri and beyond lecturing on seed selection planting and harvest. The aim is to double oat yields from current $10-$12 per acre to higher profits, aided by improved varieties and farming methods. The push links to national grain totals and compares the potential value of a larger oat crop to buying battleships.
