January Husked Corn Surpasses Fall Quality Near Stratford
A prominent farmer northwest of Stratford in Tramilton County stopped husking in fall due to muggy weather. He left 28 acres, husked in January, finding it drier and better, estimating No. 2 grade. Snow fences four rods from highways aided drainage and traffic in northern Iowa amid heavy snows, while state highway crews maintain primary routes. Iowa adds three new corn processing plants, boosting a state capacity around 22 million bushels, with further facilities planned in Clinton and Keokuk.
