Bonne Ripen Continuously on Guatemala Farms
In Tiquisate Guatemala banana fields near Concepcion, Bananas renew automatically after harvest with pruning and circling, yielding year round production though Panama disease risk persists. Workers harvest with a cutter and porters, loading stems about 75 pounds to be shipped to Porto Barrios for the United Fruit Company. Net profits to landowners average $50 per acre through company irrigation and disease control partnerships.

Uncertainty Lurks in Iowa Farm Outlook for 1947
Ames reports from Iowa State College farm economists forecast ongoing strong demand for farm products into 1947 with ample feed and rising land values but uncertainty over a postwar downturn. Cash sales dominate sales, debt exceeds asset values on many farms, and meat and grain markets remain tight with pig production expected to rebound in spring and prices to ease next fall.
