Kirkwood crop program shows high yield but losses in 1978
Kirkwood Community College's student run crop program reports 114 bushels per acre corn and 37 bushels soybeans in 1978 aided by ideal subsoil moisture and timely rainfall. Despite good yields, corn and hay losses offset soybean profit and total farm operation lost $7,634.79, though college netted over $11,000 by excluding rent and interest costs.
