Seed options for long term alfalfa plantings
Farmers planning four year plus alfalfa seeding should consider Ladak or Cossack seed for higher long term yields. While most seedings may be plowed by year three, northern grown common seed offers lower cost. Longer durations justify Ladak or Cossack despite higher price due to higher dividends.

Robert Meyers of Oelwein sold 58 head of butcher hogs in Chicago at $7.85 per hundred, averaging 268 pounds, fed on corn and tankage. A self feeder for fattening lambs yields quick gains and high finish at higher cost. Town dairymen saw January butterfat prices similar to last year despite higher production. About 2 million acres of Iowa farmland are held for sale by insurance firms and Farm Credit Administration, totaling 1,724,000 acres or 5.1 percent of Iowa land worth about $120 million at $70 per acre.
