Alfalfa Crop Outlook for Nevada Dims Gloom, Prospects Rise
A report from the U S Department of Agriculture received by the Farm Bureau office indicates Nevada hay prospects are better this year. Acreage remains unchanged but overall condition is up 10 points from last year with May 1 normal. Projected production reaches 758 000 tons, 127 000 more than last year, and on hand tonnage 107 000 tons, 75 000 more than a year ago. A 234 000 ton increase is expected for fall marketings, though high freight and ample regional yields may complicate marketing. County Farm Bureau advocates marketing or feeding dairy cows and considers an alfalfa meal mill to move surplus to the South.
