The War Production Board reports the 671 million dollar farm machinery and spare parts program for the year ending June 30 is 13 percent behind on May 1, with expected finish about 10 percent behind as accelerated production nears. Despite delays, combines may meet quotas by September. Production gaps exist across equipment lines while farm land values rise 15 percent for the year to March 15.
