Expert warns South may overtake Midwest as feed granary
Dr. Robert M. Salter of the Agriculture Department warned that soil overworking in the Midwest and a Southern shift to corn could shift the nation’s feed granary southward. He cited longer growing seasons and better rainfall in the South and noted 100-bushel corn clubs forming in several states with hundreds of farmers achieving 100 bushels or more. The Iowa and Texas yields averaged 16 bushels per acre this year.
