Panel flags risk to 71 million acre planting plan
DES MOINES AP A panel of grain experts at the National Farm Growers Association meeting said the 71 million acres expected for planting may be feasible given grain supplies, but distribution bottlenecks could limit actual planting. They note 20 percent of seed often goes unplanted due to logistics, despite industry efforts to reduce losses. Senator Miller urged adaptation to evolving farm policy as the 1970s may bring expanding markets and greater export growth. Awards at the convention honored Joe Maria and Edward Schultz in irrigation and non irrigation categories.

He urges legislation to force the Secretary of Agriculture to provide advance payments, noting 1970 farmers faced higher seed and equipment costs and higher borrowing rates due to the policy change.
