Kline Opposes Government Pegged Prices For Farms
DES MOINES AP Allan Kline former president of the American Farm Bureau Federation says government pegged prices cannot help farmers. He told Western Grain and Feed Assn delegates that price fixing would boost hog production while surpluses depress prices and incomes. He urged a free economy and criticized propaganda that everyone should be able to farm. The Iowa group elected five new two year directors and named officers including Edson Cornick as president and Robert Couch as treasurer.

USDA Forecasts Slight Rise in Farm Income Next Year
The USDA forecast a small gain in net farm income for 1957 amid rising costs and debts. For 1956 the annual net income reached about 11.7 billion with government payments boosting the total, while 1957 projections expect little overall change for farmers as a group and slower real estate value growth. The soil bank program will curb market supplies, with higher prices and payments giving only a modest lift.
Farm Business Assn To Be On Self Supporting Basis
Cedar Valley Farm Business Association members voted 46 to 7 to operate as a self supporting unit after ISU extension service ends the current funding on Jan 1 1957. The group will raise fees by acreage with a schedule from 40 to 54 plus adjustments for non tillable land and will provide farm records visits tax help and annual reports while ISU may use anonymized data for research. The board gained authority to adjust fees and suspend term limits to ease the transition with 1956 membership at 165 and a goal of 200 plus members for 1957.

USDA Official Calls Surplus Major Problem
Des Moines based USDA grain chief Lloyd N. Case told the Western Grain and Feed Association annual meeting that storage and disposal of surplus production dominate problems and hinder solutions. He warned that price support programs force government activity into competition with grain traders and urged dealers to push farmers to vote in the December 11 referendum on acreage allotments or corn bases for the 1957 program.
