Reed's Predictions on Iowa Corn Yield Seem Justified
DES MOINES September 13 UP Forecasting is his business. Charles D Reed federal meteorologist is expected to come close on his estimates though a July prophecy nearly failed before it was confirmed in September. Reed predicted that each day at 100 degrees with current moisture would cut Iowa corn yield by one bushel per acre. The state average stood around 38 bushels per acre in early estimates, yielding an expected September 1 figure near 80.2 bushels. The government had pegged Iowa at about 6203? Wait.
