Local resident R A Ball notes two feet of snow and road closures as conditions turn in favor of river development discussions.

Farm Board Faces Large Paper Losses Revealed
Washington Carl Williams told the senate agricultural committee the farm board holds 11 percent cotton paper losses worth 72 million dollars if sold now. Wheat holdings amount to 51 million dollars in paper losses at 27 cents a bushel from 189,656,187 bushels. The session highlighted how close the board came to destabilizing the economy if wheat had fallen more in 1980 and noted banks in Arkansas and Kentucky faced closures amid the board’s market actions. The extent of wheat losses depends on future sales after international prices averaged 58 to 65 cents per bushel.
