1936 Iowa farm outlook expects gains over 1935
Iowa State College economists forecast 1936 will be as good or better for farmers than 1935 with shifts from corn to grass, more sheep and cattle, rising hog prices, and stronger domestic demand. They warn of possible land price booms if land competition increases and note limited foreign demand due to tariffs and the Italo Ethiopian situation. About 12,500 Iowa 4-H youth participated in health contests in 1935.
