Farmers expect income gains amid wartime demand
County Agent Carl Smith reported at the Ames meeting that farm incomes in 1942 may be the highest since World War I as defense efforts boost demand. He warned prices for farmers’ inputs may rise with tightened civilian production, while hog prices and marketing shift. Prices for grain fed cattle and dairy products look favorable, with cheese and condensed milk production expected to rise for export to Britain. Poultry outlook improves with higher demand and more chicks, aiming at bigger egg and market poultry output later in the year.

Grass Silage Made Without Preservative
Experimental results indicate that legumes and grasses can be made into good silage without a preservative if moisture is around 65 percent at silo entry. County agricultural official Carl Smith notes most crops harvested for hay exceed 65 percent moisture when soil moisture is ample, though precise moisture is hard to judge and adding a preservative is safer to preserve nutrients.
