Sweetcorn crop reports show heavy flood and drought impacts
George J. Lichty, Waterloo Canning Co. president, says 1915 sweetcorn packs in Iowa and Illinois fell well below normal. Floods along the Nishnabotna river submerged about 25,000 acres affecting Hamburg area farms, with late planting and early frost worsening yields. Prices may rise as supply tightens amid expanding sugar costs from Panamax canal disruption. Max Kaltenbach writes from Baden, Germany, noting ongoing crop size and wartime labor.
