Farm Price Indices Decline in Iowa After Record High
The Iowa farm price index eased from a peak last month, slipping from 31 percent to about 28.9 percent of the 1909 level as harvests lift feed grain stocks.

World corn production for 1946-47 is pegged near three billion bushels with U.S. output around 3.5 billion. Iowa’s share near 0.75 to 1.0 billion bushels.

Harvest Progress Sees Most Iowa Corn In Crib By December
Iowa farmers report 75 percent of the corn crop out of fields by end of November with about 2.75 million acres remaining to be harvested by December 1. Cooler weather lowered moisture yet some kernels test as high as 25 percent. Soybeans are largely gathered, leaving minor patches. December forage from meadows and stalk fields supports cattle and sheep as flax markets rise may cause seed shortages for next year.

Dairy and livestock notes on cattle lice milk output and hog finishing
Newly purchased feeder cattle should be checked for lice while milk production per cow set a regional record last month. Erosion impacts farming communities and hog killing expands lard output. High quality hay aids sow ration for spring farrowing, and udders require protection to prevent milk fever and mastitis from improper housing, bedding, and milking. Stock water and electric tank heaters help cows. The 1947 dairy outlook remains favorable with butter output rising but below prewar levels as prices stay profitable. Want ads offer inexpensive sales help.
