Spring Farm Work Underway Across East Iowa
East Iowa farmers, delayed by poor spring weather, used a spell of drying conditions to start large scale spring work. Many were in the fields last week with discing, cutting corn stalks, and plowing. Some began seeding oats while others finished harvesting the 1945 corn crop, delaying further spring chores. A few farmers focused on hauling manure and fence repairs. If weather holds, oats planting should accelerate and other spring tasks advance.
