There was a time when IA and PA were the only states with million bird harvests. That was before CRP. Since then, PA has gone into the tank, and the prairie states have recovered significantly. But this year, SD is way out in front, KS probably a good 2nd, ND not too bad. Here in IA, we had very bad nesting weather (floods). The NW corner of the state is actually up from last year; every other region down, some significantly so. This will probably be our 2nd lowest harvest on record; maybe the lowest. We ranked #5 last year (behind Minnesota!) in total bag. Considering that we were #1 a lot of years in the late 80's and 90's, it's easy to see we've gone the wrong direction.
