Iowa egg yield boosted by management changes since 1942
Iowa poultry management advances cited by W R Whitfield of Iowa State College yield a 40 percent rise in state egg production since 1942 with 184 eggs per hen last year, up from 132 a decade earlier. A Whitfield poll of 150 flock owners in 12 counties covered 31 items on housing, equipment and management, showing gains in all-pullet flock adoption, year round confinement, automatic waterers, lighting and space. The report predicts 200 eggs per hen by 1960 if trends continue.

Iowa farm living levels vary across state studied by ISU sociologists
Iowa State College sociologists Paul Jehlik and Ray Wakeley report wide variation in rural living standards. A belt across the state shows more than 80 percent above the national average, while southern townships lie mostly below or near average. Crop productivity partly explains the differences, with dairy and beef in the northeast boosting living levels beyond crop output. Further research will explore other influential factors.
