Little Washing Of Contoured Corn in Tama
Tama county faced heavy rains that washed out conventional cultivated corn while contour planted fields largely held. Tama soil district conservationist Bryan Boatman said about 40 percent of corn was planted before the wet spell and contour strip planting slowed water and reduced erosion. Approximately 200 farmers use contour practices, with more requests rolling in daily.

Farm Machinery Production Limited By War Programs
A War Production Board official told a senate agriculture subcommittee that factory output for farm machinery could double but cannot due to impacts on other war programs and labor. WPB equipment chief William K. Frank noted higher priority for military needs and said spring production already doubles last year’s farm machinery output, while demand remains unmet. He promised data on exports after a contested letter about shipping gear to untrained recipients in Africa.
