Iowa Economist Cites Cuban Tariff Change Boosting Lard Trade
Dr T W Schultz of Iowa State College says Roosevelt’s Cuba trade pact cuts Cuban lard tariff from 9.18 to 2.73 per hundred pounds. U S lard exports to Cuba fell from 80 million to 22 million pounds after tariff rises. Cuba’s share of U S lard dropped from about 10–11% to 4% by 1932. The reduced rate could expand Cuba’s lard imports, strengthening Iowa pork producers as Iowa accounts for about 20% of U S lard exports.

Farmers can turn corn stover into cash due to a roughage shortage. Properly cured and shredded stover offers oat straw like value, with one acre yielding about a ton of leaves and stalks. Cutting, shocking, and feeding reduces waste, potentially extending roughage supply for cows for months.
