Much Replanting of Corn in Southeastern Iowa Counties
Don Griswold, crop agent of Page county, reports farmers in southeastern Iowa still replant corn with some fields replanted four times. Some farmers substitute other crops while new land shows little trouble as pastures are plowed or clover fields turned. Griswold notes Page county may shift toward legumes to improve corn stands in tough years. He also notes few pheasants in the area, so depredations are unlikely to explain replanting.
