Iowa Corn Fields Threatened by Drought and Rain
Des Moines reports show about half of Iowa corn fields lacking sufficient rain while showers bring relief in places like Inwood. The weather service notes heavy rainfall at Inwood and widespread rain across the state with cooler temperatures forecast. A separate issue cites a virulent cholera outbreak in northeast Iowa herds and looming feed shortages in Crawford and Lucas counties affecting hay and grain harvest. Threshing of oats wheat and barley progresses but yields lag past records with reduced timothy seed and abundant clover and alfalfa seed expected next year.
