Hickenlooper pushes corn amendment to farm bill
Senator Hickenlooper seeks to restore corn to soil bank participation, arguing current law funds favors for wheat, cotton, and rice. He cites low 1955 corn base compliance and 1956 allotment cuts, and explains his plan to start soil bank participation from each farm s normal corn base of about 57 million acres, with state and county committees administering reductions. The effort follows his remarks at the Jaycee Outstanding Young Farmer banquet in Oelwein and a 45 minute talk at Cedar Rapids airport.
