Agricultural Squibs and Crop Projections Across States
Agricultural squibs note Iowa has the largest arable share. Cherry trees respond well to nitrogen, while tomatoes are set for 45 000 acres in Arkansas. Tennessee hay, corn and tobacco output drops 10 to 20 percent from the previous year. North Dakota leads in per capita milk with 90 gallons or more in every county. Dairy products rise to the top of gross farm income, overtaking cattle hogs and sheep. New York potato growers plan an 8 percent cut to 17 000 acres for 1933, while the 30 leading late potato states foresee a 6 percent reduction to 164 000 acres.
