Farm programs and market outlook for Iowa farmers in 1964
The Bremer County Extension Director urges farmers to decide crop plans for spring 1964 with signup for the 1964 feed Grain Program starting February 10 and sharp March 27 deadline for participation. The program remains voluntary with price support for corn barley and grain sorghum, and an ISU worksheet helps compare income with or without diversion. Reports on land values indicate rising prices driven by capital and demand, plus economic region differences. ISU economist William Uhrig notes poultry and turkey trends for 1964, including modest increases in production and careful pacing to align with population growth. Oats planting guidance emphasizes 42 seeds per square foot for optimum stands, with field counts and seed testing advised to ensure good yields.
