Iowa corn yield forecast at 48 bushels per acre for 1941
The Iowa Crop and Livestock Reporting Service predicts an average yield of 48 bushels per acre for 1941, down from 57 the prior year. Heat and scarce rains in July and August reduced moisture, with severe damage in the south and west, though hybrid seed use and favorable early moisture helped save many fields. Total state production expected around 437,808,000 bushels on 9,121,000 acres, below 140 and the three-year average.
