Washington officials said even if Russia expands its announced buy of U.S. feed grains the plan to cut American produce acreage next year remains. The 1971 record corn crop and potential 60 million bushel surplus shape the 1972 program to retire about 38 million acres, with 32 million more acres targeted for retirement if surplus stays high.

Farming versus industry earnings for a young manager
University of Nebraska economist Phillp A Henderson notes a young manager would need around 250 000 dollars to run a 480 acre swine corn farm in eastern Nebraska or about 1 765 000 dollars for a 22 000 acre cow calf ranch in northern Nebraska. The study compares potential farm or ranch earnings to off farm salaries of 14000 to 10000 dollars, assuming the manager could command such wages today.
