Subsidy program cut fuels farm lobby campaign
Administration cuts the federal conservation subsidy to a low level for 1972, while a persistent lobby pushes for expansion. The White House caps funding at 140 million for 3972 operations of the National Environmental Assistance Program, amid a 53.5 million gap between Congress and the administration. Robert M. Koch of the National Limestone Institute urges local farmers to lobby lawmakers for the full 105.5 million Congress approved for 1972, reversing a months‑long retreat as grassroots support grows.

Forage from small grains yields high digestible matter
Nebraska agronomists report rye outperforms wheat and oats for early season forage. Rye at early dough gives highest digestible dry matter, with 3780 lb per acre later, oats 340, winter wheat 2039, forage wheat 2510. Crude protein favours alfalfa, not rye. A Scout wheat trial shows 34 bushels per acre loss when clipped late.
