The Nov. 1 estimate was identical with that of Oct. 1 and represented an increase of 13,350,000 bushels over the 1957 crop. Corn both this year and last was threatened by unprecedented spring floods and abnormal rainfall which washed out thousands of acres of the crop and delayed planting of other .thousands of acres. The department also estimated Indiana soybean production at 61,830,000 bushels, an average of 27 bushels per acre for a new alltime record.
