Corn makes good progress during week to June 28
Des Moines reports the best corn progress of the season for the week ending June 28. Despite being 10 days late, corn is in better condition than the 1924 period, with heights from just planted to two feet. Early corn shows strong roots reaching moisture 18 inches deep, oats suffer some from a June 24 sandstorm, but overall crops are good. The report also notes a good hay crop, wheat coloring north toward Des Moines, and ready to harvest alfalfa and sweet clover. Potatoes are on the market with a good statewide crop anticipated.
