Early spring sowing delayed by March snow in eastern Iowa fields
The March 10 snow left northern Iowa fields tan and too wet for sowing while lighter snow south of the Lincoln Highway allowed oats planting near Mechanicsville. Frost remains in southern soils, grass seedings and clover damage noted, fruit tree damage linked to the November freeze. Horticulurist S W Edgecombe expects limited field work this week in roughly half the area as a warm breeze aids drying.
