Iowa State experts urge timing for oat seedbed and hog markets
Iowa State College agronomists advise planting oat meadow seedling immediately after harvest. Farm economist Francis Kutish says hog marketings will rise and stay high into late fall. Farmers plan summer and fall fertilizer use to balance labor and costs, with possible price discounts on bulk applications. Five of 21 Iowa tractor accident deaths through May 1954 involved children under 15, warning against risking children in farming areas.
