Seed corn shortage hits Buchanan and Mitchell counties
Independence Iowa February 9 seed corn reports from Buchanan and Mitchell counties warn farmers the seed supply is far scarcer than expected. Many stored kernels test poorly forcing some to seek 5 000 to 6 000 bushels of seed or substitute other crops. County agents urge single ear testing as the sole safeguard against crop failure with Mitchell County experts noting only a quarter to a third of normal acreage can be planted with available seed.
