...worst since 1934," says Nebraska Farmer Harold Buethe. Adds Gary Luth of Illinois: "Last year my soybeans were waist-to chest-high by this time. Now they're only ankle-to knee-high." Unless there is a break in the malicious weather this week, the corn crops could be devastated; soybean plantings will begin to burn up within weeks. Even if the rains come soon, this fall's harvest is now all but certain to drop well below amounts needed to restrain inflationary food prices. Says Jim Tippett, an official of the Illinois Farm Bureau: "We need...
...weather is also punishing Illinois, where the soybean crop will probably fall 20% below earlier expectations. Farmers in Oklahoma are getting only three cuttings of hay instead of five, and the spring-wheat yield in North Dakota is expected to be sharply reduced. The Governors of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota have declared their states disaster areas. At the Midwest Governors Conference last week in Minneapolis, a resolution was adopted urging the Administration to expand farm disaster relief and increase crop price-support programs, which only last year were reduced in order to boost production...

...first time in two years there is enough wheat to come close to meeting demand in the months ahead. Australia alone has just harvested 440 million bushels, more than double last year's crop. Adequate supplies of livestock feed also seem likely.

The rise in world farm production should ease demand pressure on this fall's U.S. harvest, which may set yet another...
...region are talking mostly about the effect the power plant is having on the once beautiful vistas that the crystal clear air afforded. In rural Arkansas, residents are talking about the effect which the power plant is going to have on their economic livelihood. Rural Arkansas is cotton and soybean country, and scientific studies have long ago demonstrated the susceptibility of cotton and beans to damage by extremely low levels of sulfur dioxide in the air. The farmers of Wright, Redfield, Ferda, and Plum Bayou don't want to see their means of making a living destroyed by Arkansas Power...
