The agriculture department values major crops at 22.62 billion for 1969, with government payments lifting overall returns to about 24.94 billion, reflecting shifts between production year timing and price changes.

Offbeat Love Affair Holds Hope For the World's Starving People
James Joyce reports from Dallas that an offbeat story links Armin the Tibetan yak with Elspeth the Highland cow in a bold experiment on artificial insemination. Millen, a 61 year old breeder, bought Armin in Madison for 900 dollars to mate with seven Scottish Highland cows in hopes of creating a new hybrid animal to aid famine relief and future agriculture.

Urban population trims U.S. rural land inventory says 1967 study
A Bernard Brenner report on a 1967 Soil Conservation Service study shows urban growth cutting 15 million acres from private rural land since 1958. Cropland, pasture, and rangeland shrink while forest land expands, with 59 percent of cropland needing treatment and 62 percent of cropland actually used for crops in 1967.
