Iowa Crop Report Sees Mixed Prospects For 1944 Farm Year
Crop output in Iowa appears uncertain with spring sowing late due to wet conditions. Oats planted area reduced, corn planting lagging and frost risk rising. fall crops like winter wheat and rye look favorable.

Surplus pasture growth fueled by spring rains can be stored as silage for later use. Methods include wilted silage with ground corn or corn and alfalfa, plus different legume and cereal mixes. The wilt method reduces cost, aided by windrow turning to speed curing. timing favors late bloom or early blowing, with hay cures fastest when raked.
