Farmers Urged to Boost Corn Planting in Pocahontas County
Pocahontas county farmers are urged to increase corn acreage this spring based on a U S Department of Agriculture report and comments from Henry Loots PMA Committee chairman. Nation wide feed crop planting is below goals by about nine million acres, risking livestock production if yields stay normal. The Pocahontas county 1952 corn goal is 164,754 acres, with Iowa overall at 11,300,000 acres. Loots says meeting state goals requires each farmer adding six acres per hundred planted last year.
