Nation's hay crop will be enormous to offset losses

Chicago reports hay and other forage crops east of the Mississippi show an 18 percent rise over 1923, with Minnesota Iowa and Missouri leading the gain. The tame hay crop is estimated at 88 484 000 tons, while wild hay is far smaller. Total hay production is around 100 to 110 million tons annually, and slight weather shifts could significantly affect winter feed. Shippers expect 6 to 10 percent more timothy day to market for the season.
