Timothy seed unprofitable in Iowa County crops
Iowa County farmers faced low timothy seed returns last year with costs at 5.19 per hundred and prices at 4.80, yielding about 2.55 per acre without land or building interest. Economists note legume crops like alfalfa and red clover offer higher forage yields and better farm economics, urging lime and legume rotations to boost profitability and soil health. The state reports 301,000 acres of straight alfalfa in 1928, up about 29,000 from 1927, with continued rise in legume use due to lime programs and mixed seedings as farmers shift toward forage crops.
