Garnett Outlines Farm Exports Plan at Iowa meeting
Des Moines INS Gwynn Garnett administrator Foreign Agricultural Service told Farmers Grain Dealers Association of Iowa that expanding exports is essential to prevent American agriculture from drowning in production. He noted exports rose from 2.8 billion in 1953 to 4.7 billion in 1957 and that 70 percent of a 600 million dollar CCC surplus cut last year went abroad. Walter Berger Commodity Stabilization Service chief urged price support cuts to curb over production and reduce dairy incentives, aiming for greater dairy consumption.

USDA Ponders Cotton Soil Bank Freeze
Soil bank officials said they may halt acreage reserve cotton signups before the March 7 deadline. A permanent signup freeze in the 1958 program is under discussion as counties in the Cotton Belt run short of funds. Whether farmers can deposit land depends on how the Agriculture Department parcels out 180 million dollars for this phase. Soil Bank Administrator Howard Doggett will not seek extra funding and may ration funds or adopt a first come policy. Some states may not commit all money, leaving more for heavy signup areas. Farmers urged to sign waiting lists at county soil bank offices.
