Iowa farmers should boost legume use in rotations says 1928 census data. Harrison County leads with 14 percent of cultivated land in legumes, followed by Woodbury Crawford and Pottawattamie at 13 percent. Many counties show just 4 to 6 percent, meaning each legume acre occurs only once in 25 years. a 25 percent goal would yield legumes every four years.
