Iowa Farm Income Rises Despite Small Corn Harvest
Special to The Gazette Ames farmers recorded a 13.5 percent rise in cash farm income for 1936 over 1935, driven by higher corn prices despite a small 218 million bushel corn crop. Eastern regions fared better, drought areas suffered, hay and small grains improved, and livestock markets also boosted income. Government payments fell from 1935 to 1936 while crop prices rose as drought impacts became clearer. A Linn County 4-H livestock and crop program aimed for 275 members, with 247 in 1936, planning lamb projects, baby beef, dairy heifers, and market animals, plus demonstrations and county-wide club expansion.
