Plant oats at rate of 3 bushels per acre in Iowa fields
County Extension Director Jim Frier notes farmers plant 3 bushels per acre yielding about 42 seeds per square foot. Optimal oats stand is 25 to 30 plants per square foot, with 42 percent of Iowa grain fields above 25 seedlings and one third below 20. Everson cites planting method and seed quality as causes of poor stands. Farmers should use tested seed and monitor field counts to reach optimum stand.

Retail meat prices respond to supply shifts and margins
Department managers keep meat prices stable while live and wholesale rates move. When supplies are tight processors and retailers edge profits, while abundant slaughter shifts meat and prices stay rigid. Retailers then slash some cuts to move stock, but live prices overadjust while retail prices underadjust.
