Officials Plan Tighter Farm Production Controls
Washington officials plan a major tightening of 1972 farm production controls if the year's crop stays large. The set aside acreage may rise to 30 percent for price supports, with barley added to the program and soybeans substituted for other crops without loss of benefits. Wheat supports would require a 63 percent set aside, up from 6.5 percent.
