Replanting Ahead For New Madrid Crops After Heavy Rain
New Madrid county farmland will require replanting after a week of heavy rainfall. From June 11 to 13 inches of rain fell, with floodwater covering thousands of acres. Extension Agent Herbert Rolf urges soybeans and corn with late-maturing varieties and recommends Ralsoy and Arksoy beans, hybrids maturing 110 days or earlier for corn, and Sudan grass for pasture. President Truman urges victory gardens and food conservation to bolster national supply. Extension notes that a fall garden is possible with moisture later in August.
