Fertilizer timing affects results with rainfall. Iowa dairy cows produced 7,072,000,000 pounds of milk last year. The average Iowa hen has increased egg production by about 16 eggs in two years. Fertilizer needs vary with application method. Beef and pork supply trends reflect population growth. 1944 seed prices signal seed shortages and encourage legume and grass seed production in Iowa. Limestone quality decline worries farmers. Inoculated soybean seed lowers oil percentage but raises total bean yield. Wax corn offers about 14 cents extra per bushel for 1944 cash sales.
