Agricultural notes on Iowa farming practices

Ragweed competes with corn for water while farmers urge fresh feed for calves and note dwarf apple trees bearing in southwest Iowa. Wait for maximum growth before plowing green manures. One quarter of Americans use rockers or freezers for perishable foods. Cattle fed brome-alfalfa in drylot gain about as fast as pasture. Sheep digest roughage better with high-energy supplements. A dairy cow benefits from good feeding during the dry period. Some dairymen test for brucellosis but skip follow-up blood tests. Cull old ewes and plan breeding for early lambs next spring.
