Ed Dyns of Town State College notes no clear seed strategy, cites 1948 red clover production at about 70,000 bushels in Iowa while national alfalfa seed output may fall 44 percent. Carryover and alsike seed offer limited relief amid price shifts.

Iowa cattle feeders urged to sell short-feds early markets
Francisca Town State College farm economist Katish advised Iowa feeders to move short fed cattle to early markets, citing high costs to finish heavy steers and a likely seasonal price drop in higher grades this spring. He expects more native cattle to enter the market as spring nears, with more cattle on feed and a 900 pound plus weight surge signaling slower demand for top grades.

Starting Feeders Is Toougest Job
Rex Beresford of Town State College advises new cattle feeders to start slowly when turning yearlings and older cattle onto grain. Begin shelled corn at 2 3 pounds per head day one, rise to about 10 pounds per 100 pounds liveweight, then ease up gradually. Use corn and cob meal as safer start, with protein fed early for faster, safer gains. Feed roughage fully before grain, use silage plus hay for best results.
