Farm Labor Deferment Plan Aimed at War Effort
Department of Agriculture and Selective Service approve a plan to defer essential farm labor on dairy livestock and poultry farms using a yardstick measure. It includes aiding small farmers to form wartime economic units and recruiting workers including women. Machinery rationing rules limit sales of heavy labor saving gear and require stock inventories by November 10. Migrant workers get gasoline access via the Office of Price Administration and farm families urge voluntary meat limits to 2½ pounds weekly per adult with cheese milk eggs and poultry as supplements.
