Federal board proposed to take agriculture out of politics
Lincoln Nebraska AP Tim Ahern reports Senator Exon outlined a plan for a federal board to oversee agriculture similar to the Federal Reserve, aiming to depoliticize farm policy. He envisions a presidentially appointed body controlling pricing, production and trade with broad economic impact. Exon plans to seek endorsements at Omaha meeting and has discussed the idea with other state agriculture directors and governors to build support.

Cutworms Reported Across 48 Iowa Counties
Iowa Extension entomologist Harold Gunderson says cutworms are active in corn and soybean fields in 48 counties. Farmers should inspect for infestation, as above ground worms are vulnerable to insecticides but delays increase resistance. If worms exceed an inch and density is damaging, chemical treatment is advised using Sevin mixed with apple pomace at 20 pounds per acre.

Drought Triggers Early Texas Cattle Sales Report
Texas ranchers sell cattle early as a drought tightens supply.

The piece also mentions a separate forecast of higher beef prices tied to blight concerns in crops spreading across Illinois and other states, with limited official updates on the blight.
