Frederika Farmers Grapple with Poor Corn and Milling Limits
John Dietz operates a new feed grinding mill near Frederika, Iowa, three days weekly, as farmers report limited corn and discolored oats with musty odor from poor storage. The region sees reduced grinding versus normal years, with many farmers relying on outside corn, including Kansas stock, for feeding livestock. Dietz notes farmers pressed threshing too soon last year, depleting supplies, and plans to plow new clover seed while neighbors adjust feeds amid uncertain prices.
