GAO review of 1972 data shows 193 of 200 farm employers did not withhold. The report urges amending tax law to require withholding for farm labor or apply a threshold exemption.

Nix notes 10.2 million cattle were in feedlots on Jan 1, nine percent of the 116.5 million U.S. beef cattle. He explains grain makes up about 65 percent of feedlot rations and roughly 6.5 pounds of grain produce one pound of gain, while roughages feed most of the rest.
