Corn or soybeans favored for spring plantings in Marion County
In Marion County AAA notes wet weather limited oats planting and pushed farmers to consider corn or soybeans. With fats and oils scarce, soybeans are favored for higher demand and price prospects. Soybean plantings may exceed last year by about 17 percent, though early intentions show a 10 to 12 percent shortfall.

The piece also cites Xenophon on agriculture and introduces a new fence post preservation method using pentachloride chemicals.
