Crab grass control and invasive grass threat in Iowa lawns
Crabgrass germination stretches over years making ongoing lawn care essential. Yard owners should prevent seeding, use labeled chemicals correctly, and expect multi year efforts. A tall perennial grass, not native to the U S, with silvery plum seed heads worries Iowa residents. Botanists study its hardiness and spread after escape from a flower bed. Yields vary from 35 to 85 bushels per acre, but quality remains high according to reports.

Farm Outlook Warns Iowa Farmers On Corn Storage Costs
The July 1959 corn crop outlook warns farmers to plan storage for fall. ISU economist Kulish notes possible oversupply of feed despite rising livestock production and low harvest prices. Rackham cites increased corn acreage and roughage prices, with hay and dehydrated alfalfa prices dropping from April levels. Tankage may rival soybean meal as a protein source, and price shifts offer bargaining room for discounts on concentrates.
