Kalona Farmer Adapts Linoleum To Harvest Short Oats
Kalona farmer Ernest Kleopher built a makeshift platform cover using linoleum strips tacked to reel slats to sweep and bind a twenty acre stand of extremely short oats. He expects to salvage the yield across a thirty acre tract using this method, tying straw to the platform as cattle feed. An unrelated report from La Porte City warns drought plus corn-ear worm damage threatening local fields and notes 3 to 70 percent infestation in corn belts.
