Corn stock drop in Muscatine County prompts more acreage focus
Muscatine County's government managed corn in storage fell from 750000 to 160000 bushels in the past year. PMA chairman Floyd McIntire urged farmers to plant more corn, noting tight feed supplies and likely need to raise livestock with home grown feed. Loans mature this year with no resealing program, and Iowa stocks show lower nationwide figures with continued livestock feed demand.
