Weather Crop Bulletin for week ending July 28 1912 Des Moines Iowa
The past week offered near ideal growing conditions for crops and haying with normal temperatures and generally light to copious showers across most of Iowa. Some southern localities need rain for corn potatoes and pastures but overall crops are in excellent shape. Haying is nearly finished with better than expected yields and high quality while small grain harvest advances rapidly and may finish next week. Winter wheat oats and barley yields vary from twenty to sixty five bushels per acre with large seed trials for timothy. Corn shows rapid growth though overall size lags normal but prospects remain strong for above average yields with continued good weather. Potatoes remain in good condition with promise of a large crop. George M. Chappell Section Director.
