Iowa Farmers Finish Harvesting Livestock In Husked Fields
Reed reports a good number of Iowa farmers have finished corn crops with livestock grazing husked fields. Some farmers made little progress due to heat and dry weather that hindered hand husking and damaged ears for mechanical pickers. Private forecasters estimate 1937 corn crop at 2.636 billion bushels, with winter wheat acreage around 56.1 million acres amid rain, drought, and grasshopper damage in western counties.

Surplus of Feed Grains Indicates Broad Midwestern Abundance
Special to The Gazette reports a federal outlook that supplies of forage crops and feed grains will be ample across major midwest feeding areas. Corn stocks are high, livestock numbers are down, and carryover of feed grains may exceed average despite increased feeding for hogs and cattle. Prices should stay below 1934-35 peaks, with corn similar to two years ago and oats and barley higher. Livestock price ratios likely stay favorable for two to three years if production remains near average.
