Heat and rains encouraging Iowa farmers
Des Moines reports hot weather and recent rains lifting spirits of farmers and merchants across Iowa. Predictions point to higher prices for farm products and livestock next fall, with a smaller anticipated corn crop nationwide and a strong alfalfa rise in acreage. Government reports note alfalfa performing well amid drought and rising for 230000 acres in 1924, while tame hay lags. Small price gains could mean hundreds of millions for Iowa farmers.
