Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Crop Production: April 1, 1952
Spring work and vegetative development was retarded during Harch in the main agricultural areas, as in the past two vears, by mostly unfavorable weather and wet ?ieldso Snow had.mostly disappeared by April 1, except in northern new England, the upper Great Lakes area, adjacent portions of North and South Dakota, and in the western Mountain States° But fields were still wet from melting snow and March rains, so that preparation of seed beds and seeding of spring creps made less than usual progress. The situation was not regarded as serious in most areas. Early April weather has already helped to rectify the situation, and the high degree of mechanization of farms enables farmers to make rapid pro grass, once they are able to get started. Fall sown grains, meadows and.pastures were slowly emerging from winter dormancy in northerly latitudes, showing mostly good survival and favorable prospects. Soil moisture is generally satisfactory to abundant and the mountain snowpack promises ample irrigation water, 'except for New Mexico and portions of adjacent States to the north and east.
