Schwengel Defends Nixon Rural Revenue Sharing in Iowa
Congressman Fred Schwengel rebutted critics of President Nixon's rural development revenue sharing plan at a Davenport news conference. He argued the program will fund 20.7 million dollars in Iowa during the first year, preserves 4-H and extension services, and lets states set rural development priorities rather than federal bureaucrats in Washington.

Corporations Produce a Twelfth of Nation's Food and Fiber
Washington AP. The Agriculture Department reports corporate farming growing into a major force, producing about one twelfth of U S food and fiber. While officials note limited impact on family farms, some groups fear rising corporate land control and productivity. In 1967 corporate farms sold 3.3 billion dollars in farm products, representing eight percent of marketings, with corporate holdings averaging 4,811 acres. California and Florida host the most corporate farms, hay and grains are common crops, and most corporations are family owned or controlled by individuals rather than outside interests. Super farms earning 100000 or more yearly grew from under 20,000 in 1959 to over 31,000 in 1964, supplying 24 percent of food and fiber by then.
