Hardin Urges Exploring Farmland Retirement to Curb Overproduction
Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hardin told Congress on March 5 that retiring large acreages could be explored as a possible Nixon administration policy. He noted a plan to study methods to control U S farm output with farm groups and professionals. Hardin said ideas like purchasing cropping rights via easements could free land for grazing trees or recreation, and warned of potential resistance. He scheduled grass roots meetings starting April 12 at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, with more to come. Richard B Lyng will keynote the National Marketing Service workshop opening April 15 in Asheville NC, to discuss marketing issues with specialists from across the country.
