Wheat exports lift U S to top world market share
On the farm front Leonard Curry reports that U S durum wheat has risen from relative smallness to a dominant role in world trade. Factors in the mid 1960s boosted U S production while Canada and others offered different prices. U S exports climb from 7 million to 46 million bushels in six years, with record 1.275 million metric tons in 1966 67 and near record 1 252 million in 1968 69, surpassing Canada and Argentina in multiple seasons.

Buzzing with Bob How much needs beef cows to eat in winter
Kansas researchers study minimum protein and energy for beef cows to keep production and reproduction steady. Cows three years and older on alfalfa with no extra feed showed poorer rebreeding, while younger cows suffered most from energy shortages. Calves varied by diet, with lighter calves from alfalfa plus soybean meal. Continued tests with milo and urea await spring calving. Lawn care advice urges herbicide plans to curb weeds, listing Betusan Dadhal Balan Azak and Tupersan as options, and notes pre emergent protections depend on timing and labels.

Number down but production up in farming future
An estimated total of 2 894 000 farms will be operated during 2070 according to official sources. That is the lowest number since 1870 and represents a 2.6 percent drop from 1969 and 27 percent from 1960. Over 35 years farms have declined but modern efficiency yields more food of higher quality for more people. Agricultural productivity has not risen in line with nonfarm industry, roughly staying behind two decades.
