Wyoming Farm Bureau Backs State Grasshopper Program
The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation board met in Laramie on February 3 with the Commodity Committees to approve a cooperative grasshopper control plan. The proposal calls for Federal funding of bait and equipment, State covering tax costs, and county boards of control to manage labor and application by farmers. The plan mirrors 1949 funding shares and targets 1950 operations, with the Federation representing over 4000 farm and ranch families and the initiative going to the Wyoming Legislature in a February special session.
