School Attic Seed Corn Drying Promotes Efficiency
The Fonda High School in Pocahontas County Iowa under Charles H. Tye dried and packed over 230 bushels of seed corn in 34 days, with 387 noted as poor year. A heated attic space in a school building is proposed for drying while prizes encourage rural pupils to participate. The plan targets superintendents and principals to adopt this method in frost prone districts.

Seed testing saves farmers from seed corn losses
County Agent Don Fish cites yield data from Farry County Iowa showing tested seed corn averaged 422 bushels per acre versus 35.9 bushels where seed was not tested. On 47 acre farms the untested crop lost about 259.75 dollars per farm, while tested seed yielded better and increased profit. The individual car test, though time consuming, is blamed for higher yields and better results.
