Denmark Dairy Farming in Denmark Aims for Efficiency
Thomas Hansen, a Black Hawk county Holstein breeder, toured Denmark for weeks to study intensive farming, tax rules, and livestock sanitation. He notes small farms dominate, heavy beets and home gardens, beets and cake feeds from America, windmills grinding feed, and cows averaging about 280 pounds of butterfat per cow. He observed Danish shows emphasizing production over show type and reported on farm routines, labor, and pride in landscape.

Iowans Sacrifice Marketable Corn for Large Yields
Des Moines reports that over 37 years the Iowa weather and crop bureau finds sound, marketable corn has declined by over 0.5% yearly while yields rose about 0.33 bushels per acre yearly. Frosts rose from 5% of corn frosted in 1890s to 20% in 1916-26, with no clear shift to earlier frosts. Phosphorus depletion in soil may limit maturity, as no strong effort exists to replace absorbed phosphorus.
