Seed Oats Supply Shorter This Year
Certified seed oats will be in shorter supply this year than it has been for several years, says Joe L. Robinson, secretary of the Iowa Crop Improvement Association. Carryover from 1955 and a 76 percent drop in the 1956 act of certified oats explain the smaller supply, with no new varieties released in 1956. New varieties Burnett and Newton will be limited in 1957, seed released through county committees. Farmers are urged to verify variety, seller reliability, and price, and to buy blue tag Iowa Certified seed meeting strict standards.
