Wheat Set-Aside Change May Affect Beef Prices
The Nixon administration moved to drop part of the wheat set aside, freeing about 16 million acres for other crops or forage. AG officials say cattle prices may rise later as more feed grains enter supply, but beef prices won’t be affected in the short term. Industry leaders in Indianapolis and Seattle warn the move could create confusion and fail to solve meat price pressures.

Michigan Farm Bargaining Law Signed by Governor
Governor Milliken signed into law a measure allowing fruit and vegetable growers to form associations with bargaining rights over prices. The Michigan agricultural marketing and bargaining act requires at least 50 percent sign-up in a commodity to represent growers, with certification by a state board. Backed by the Farm Bureau and AFL-CIO, the bill faced initial opposition from food processors but gains would benefit small farmers and consumers.
