Barbed Wire Wars Shape Iowa Farm History
Beginning in the sixties, barbed wire patents proliferated with J S Glidden refining a fence pattern that influenced national producers. Iowa quickly built multiple factories, leading to legal battles after Washburn & Moen bought into the patents in 1876 and pursued suits. By 1881, thirty three licensees settled for damages over three hundred thousand dollars, and opposition from notable Iowans shaped the fight. The barbed wire struggle culminated as the Iowa Farmers' Protective Association began production amid falling prices, and in 1892 the Supreme Court upheld Glidden's patent. This account is from Karl W. Hayter in the October Iowa Journal of History and Politics.

Reports indicate the dry method of chemical application works well on weeds such as poison ivy quack grass and European hindweed. Measure infested areas with 3 to 4 feet overlap, apply four pounds per square rod of sodium chlorate or atlasite, and use a perforated gallon pail as an applicator.

About 3 million bushels are planted annually with roughly 20 percent failing from lack of timely de-icing. Proper fertilization and inoculation are advised.
