Crop Bulletin Reflects Cool Unseasonable Weather
Des Moines Iowa reports a week ending August 17 marked by unusually cool and cloudy conditions with light precipitation except in the Western and Central districts where some wind and hail caused damage. Threshing and stacking slowed due to damp weather, with moisture harming some shock corn and grain. The overall crop progress is belated, needing warmer days to finish early planted and to salvage late planted fields. Hay crops are large as pastures and meadows show heavy forage, while late potatoes and early apples show favorable yields.
