Cautious View On Seed Oat Purchases At Iowa State
Iowa State College oat breeders urge caution on paying high prices for commercial seed oats advertised as Clinton or its sisters. They note Clinton remains best suited for Iowa conditions, with high yield and resilience, and warn many advertised crosses may not equal Clinton. If Clinton or Benton seed is unavailable, treated Tama Boone or Control seed offers partial protection against Helminthosporium blight. Treatment with New Improved Ceresan during seedling stages is advised, anytime before next spring planting.

Hog price outlook shifts with late winter upswing possible
Iowa State College economist Lauren Soth says livestock and meat prices will swing sharply as markets settle over the next several weeks. Hog prices may rise more than usual in late winter and spring if consumer demand holds, though downswings are likely next fall. Overall, prices are expected to average higher than old ceilings for 8 to 10 months, with grain fed cattle leading gains in August and September amid wider price spreads.

Contour farming boosts corn yields and saves soil
Iowa State College official M Browning reports five year contouring trials show corn on contour averages 80.6 bushels per acre versus 73.3 on up and down slopes, with 112.6 and 106 bushels in 1946. Contouring also improves soybean and oat yields and reduces soil erosion losses, boosting moisture retention and long term fertility.

Pasture Cuts Feed Costs in Iowa State Trials
Iowa State College trials at Page County Farm compare four cattle feeding systems using Hereford steers. Drylot with self-fed ground corn and Timothy clover hay finished fastest, while pasture based feeding reduced corn and hay needs but extended total feeding time. Gains ranged from 366 to 377 pounds, with pasture strategies lowering per hundred pounds of gain but delaying market finish.

Pasture Alfalfa Mix Shows Promise for Beef Cattle Diets
A trial on a .33 acre pasture with oats in first-year seeding suggests potential errors in feeding. The study demonstrates that good biome-alfalfa pastures can fit into cattle feeding programs. With Iowa rotations needing more grasses, marketing pasture through beef cattle points to rebuilding war-depleted soils without reducing beef production.
