High Corn Prices Not Beneficial to Farmers Pocket
In Black Hawk and surrounding counties Iowa farmers, grain dealers, and county agents report that rising corn and hog prices do not greatly improve farmers' finances. Shortages and delayed selling push prices higher, while excess rain and late harvests threaten yields. Hog prospects vary by region as some hog-raisers may profit if prices stay elevated. A Louisiana milk survey is noted in passing.
