Too Much Rain
Creates Serious
Farming Problems

The last man to find employment
in this agricultural area in recent
weeks would be a professional rain
maker, but the help wanted" sign
was out for the scientist who can
seed a cloud to dry it up.
Usually by Independence Day com
bines have started the flow of wheat
to local elevators, but early this week
a rowboat would have made more
suitable harvesting machine as rains
continued to give farmers a rough
life.
Local farmers and grain buyers re-
port that wheat is ripe and ready to
harvest given a few days of dry
weather and a warm sun. Heavy rains
at the time Of pollination have also
caused what appears to be reduction
in yield this year, and quality of some
small samples tested has been low.
One grain buyer said that farmers
were estimating that the yield of some
fields will be as low as u to Is
bushels per acre whereas 25 to IS
bushels have been harvested under
more favorable conditions.
Continued rains and heavy winds
could also cause additional thousands
Of dollars worth Of crop loss, if the
grain is beaten to the ground before
the combine can take the harvest.
Hay making has also been delayed
by the excessive rainfall, and those
farmers who have been able to get
their first cuttings into the NOV,
report quality down. Indications are
that hay buyers win be less choicy
this year and prices may be up.
The wet weather, which earlier
delayed corn planting in this area,
has resulted in much additional acre
age being planted to soy beans. Late
planting does not have the adverse
effect on bean yields that it has on
corn. Quicker maturity of beans as
compared to corn usually eliminates
loss due to frost.
The switch to soybeans has been
reported over large area of Ohio,
Michigan and Wisconsin. In Central
Illinois this year, many farms have
two or three times the acreage of
beans that they have in corn.
