Detasseling Drive Reaches New State Record in Iowa
More than 25,000 Iowans worked two weeks detasseling hybrid seed corn in an effort described as the state’s most concentrated. The Iowa State College labor office noted a drop in imported labor from 1,460 in 1946 to 625 this year and reported peak detasseling days on August 3 to 6 with high heat pushing crews to operate at top speed. Girls gained popularity with growers and were used in larger numbers than ever.
