Benson Seeks Backing for Price Policy Reform

He argued high support prices reduce demand and warned that current formulas risk surpluses, calling for end to mandatory prices and the flexible supply formula. He stressed government should not set corn support levels and noted political resistance among farm lawmakers.

Sorghum Grain as Pig Feed Proves Efficient in Trials
Iowa State expert E L Quaife summarizes Nebraska experiment results showing grain sorghum, self fed with lankage, can substitute for corn. Sorghum grain is 80 to 95 percent as efficient as corn per weight, with palatability varying by grind. Finely ground grain lowers gains, while coarsely ground with animal protein supports good performance.
