New Deal Farm Heads Eye Midwest
Washington AP The administration farm leaders cheered by a 22 percent cut in cotton planting turned to the midwestern corn and wheat belts. The Agriculture Department asked corn growers to scale back operations to avert a large surplus and will learn Monday from the crop reporting board if they cooperate. Private forecasts put corn production at about 2.5 billion bushels, with hopes to stay under 2.45 billion to avoid quotas requiring two-thirds approval to store part of the crop or pay a tax. Monday’s report will also give the best estimate yet of this year’s wheat crop, with last month’s figure at 1.045 billion bushels, about 495 million above domestic and export needs. The July 1 cotton planting report showed 26,904,000 acres in cultivation, down from 35,000,000 acres last year, the smallest since 1900, signaling a crop about 8,000,000 bales below last year’s 18,945,000 bale total.
