Forecast is a higher yielding corn crop, especially for western Iowa, but disease could play an important role throughout the state. Soybean yields should be as good as 1970. Hay yields will be about the same as in 1970, but second and third cuttings in western Iowa may be short because of low subsoil moisture. Pastures will yield about the same, but those in western Iowa may deteriorate a little earlier in the season than normally, also because of the low subsoil moisture.
