Farmers to Plant More Than in 1934
Ohio State University Agricultural Extension Service reports from 46,000 farmers nationwide showing plans to plant 17 percent more crop acres excluding cotton than last year’s harvest. 1935 acreage likely 5 percent below 1932 harvested acres due to crop control, seeding issues, seed costs, and livestock liquidation. Corn is expected at 96 million acres, spring wheat 18 million, oats 29 percent higher than last year’s harvested, barley and tobacco near last year, potatoes down slightly, soybeans and barley up, and hay down due to seed shortages.

Prairie Farmer advises winter wheat seeding in spring at two bushels per acre for early summer pasture. Heavily seeded oats three to four bushels provide feed through June to August with adequate rainfall. Sudan grass proves most dependable for midsummer pasture, ready after corn planting and lasting till frost. When sowing alfalfa clover or grass with oats or wheat, pasturing the grain yields better establishment than cutting for grain, and grain seed should be reduced when mixed with grasses and clovers.
