Corn Crop Forecasts Signal Big Ohio Losses
Ohio farmers faced a bleak outlook as the 1947 corn crop was projected at 135.44 million bushels, about 24 percent below last year and 14 percent under normal. Frost in late September and early October hurt yields, with western and northern Ohio hardest hit. Dry weather later helped retain storability, while other crops showed mixed prospects. Glenn S. Ray of the crop reporting service cited maturity, denting, and dough stages to explain the reduced yield.
