Iowa Crop Report Highlights 1950 Winter Wheat Decline
The Iowa Crop and Livestock Reporting Service reports winter wheat production for 1950 at 5,120,000 bushels, down from 1949 due to lower harvest age and a 36 percent fall seedings drop to fit government acreage allotments. Rye production stands near 154,000, with 11,000 of 1000 acres planned for grain, while hay stocks on May 1 total 071,000 tons, below last year and the ten year average. Pasture at 70 percent of normal, slow growth, supplying about 12 percent of livestock grazing needs, far below 1949 and earlier years. Egg production in April 1950 hits a record, 517 million eggs, with four-month total at 1.849 billion eggs, the highest on record for the period. April lay rate at 1,812 eggs per 100 hens, tied to recent years but below the 1946 peak, due to cooler April and feed factors. Milk production in April 1950 reaches 505 million pounds, mirroring 1949, with a below-normal seasonal rise to May 1. First four months total 1.828 billion pounds, the lowest since 1987. average milk per cow in April is 454 pounds, matching 1949 and behind the 459-pound 1947 peak.
