Cool Weather Delays Iowa Corn Maturity Amid Fodder Harvest Gain
Federal meteorologist Charles D. Reed says Iowa's 1934 corn maturity was seriously hindered by cool weather and light showers last week. Rainfall and drought patterns vary by region while hog cholera spreads in seventeen eastern counties and vaccination is insufficient. Reed notes weed hay and soybeans harvests as late-season fodder options and predicts corn in south central and southwest Iowa will be cut for fodder as pastures remain largely poor.
