Crop Bulletin May 25 1903 Des Moines Iowa
Crop bulletin for the week ending May 25 1903 reports continued wet and cloudy weather with heavy local downpours delaying corn planting and field work in central and western Iowa. Reports from counties along the Mississippi are more favorable with showers aiding plowing and planting in the northeast and east central regions. The Missouri river districts saw the heaviest rain with wind hail and lightning causing some damage and likely reducing corn acreage. Germination is generally satisfactory and stands look good though oats show excessive rank growth in rich soils. Overall the crop situation depends on a return to normal weather.
