Rural development credit bill advances in House panel
The House Agriculture Committee moved toward final approval of a major rural development credit bill, rejecting linking it to a federal revenue sharing plan and opposing funneling credits through state governors. The panel approved grant ceilings including a 200 million dollar annual allocation for rural water and sewer projects while preserving a loans program for rural industry and community facilities. Farmers nationwide began enrolling in 1972 feed grains, wheat and cotton support programs, with signup through March 10 and optional diversification and acreage control plans outlined by the Agriculture Department.

Efficient use of nitrogen in Nebraska wheat soils
University of Nebraska agronomists report on nitrogen behavior in fallow wheat fields. Ammonium nitrate splits into nitrate and ammonium, with nitrate moving with soil water and ammonium binding to clay and organic matter near the surface. Microbial activity converts ammonium to nitrate up to 160 pounds per acre, while higher rates (160 or more) delay this conversion, increasing surface ammonium. Mineralization from organic matter adds about 12 pounds nitrate per acre May–September in fallow soils. Losses to depth or volatilization rise at 420 and 640 pounds per acre. Early fall application at normal rates can avoid downward movement and support fall wheat growth.
