Iowa Farmers Target Big Corn Yield And Hog Feed
The survey projects 10,739,000 corn acres and potential output far above 1942. Extra corn could feed about 2,381,000 hogs to 250 pounds, with 59,536,000 bushels more corn than last year. Experts doubt the all time 61 bushel average can be matched due to limited machinery and labor. Farmers expect 2,000,000 extra hogs on the additional corn and plan 37 percent more hogs this spring and 50 percent more next fall. They also foresee more soybeans flax and potatoes while reducing small grains and hay.
