USDA experts predict 1977 retail food prices will rise 3 to 4 percent from 1976, similar to 1976. Beef, pork, milk, chicken, and eggs face mixed trends with middlemen's costs driving most increases, while crop yields later in 1977 will determine the year’s final trajectory.
Washington officials said the Agriculture Department will not invoke acreage controls on the 1977 rice crop. Assistant Secretary Bell cited expected weaker South Asia harvests and potential higher exports as reasons to maintain current policies, with final ruling due by April 1.
Sierra Club president Brant Calkin says the livestock industry inflates losses to predators to sway Ford against the 1972 poison ban. EPA chief Russell Train urged Ford to resist repeal efforts while the Woolgrowers push for 1080 and strychnine use, despite concerns over wildlife harm and food-chain impacts.
Kansas agricultural guide notes red clover as a short lived perennial used for hay silage and soil improvement. It is usually grown as a biennial with best results on well drained loam and neutral soil, often seeded with a companion grain crop for erosion control and early return.
College Station Texas based researcher Evelyn King uses the Jeff Dykes Range Livestock Collection to reveal independent women who ran ranches and drove trail drives in the post Civil War West. Diaries and letters show Lizzie Williams as a businesswoman who built an Austin area estate after 1860s cattle ventures.
Hutchinson expert Hank Deutsch notes uncertain climate cycles possibly spanning 20 to 25 years and warns that records are sparse. He says a drought pattern could recur like the Dust Bowl, requiring legislation to conserve resources and limit marginal farming amid pressures from expansion, shelter belt destruction, and stressed irrigation.

Tony Treat, president of the New Mexico Woolgrowers Association, reports coyotes attacking 4000 breeding ewes on 40,000 acres near Roswell.
