Weather Bureau chief speaks at township institute meeting
Charles D. Reed of Des Moines, head of the weather and crop bureau, told Buchanan county farmers that big business and boards of trade do not set farmers’ prices and that state and federal reports provide crucial crop condition data. He urged better cooperation between farmers and assessors, noting private sector reports are now timely and accurate. he predicted Iowa land values will not rise sharply, with income driving land value more than speculation.
