Soybean Harvest Being Hastened in Iowa
DES MOINES Iowa Ten percent of the 1955 soybean crop had been harvested with activity strongest in the north and northwest and slowest in the central areas. Early maturity and threats of shattering and wind damage are accelerating harvest. Over 90 percent of silo filling is completed, well above the 65 percent in 1954 at this date. Ensilage is up due to crop and pasture conditions. Fall plowing is well below average with about 20 percent done versus 50 percent typical. About 95 percent of the corn crop is well dented and hard, 8 to 10 days ahead of average but yields and quality down from early season prospects due to hot dry weather.
