RANDOLPH — Indications are that under present conditions the average Nebraska farmer cannot afford to grow either soybeans or cowpeas extensively.
Although valuable for feed, the relatively low yields and greater cost connected with their culture make them inferior to our other standard crops, including corn, wheat and oats.
The soy bean is actually better adapted to the Nebraska conditions than is the cowpea.
