Produce cotton research referendum vote in early December
Washington AP reports the Agriculture Department may decide in about two weeks on a grower referendum for a multillion dollar cotton research and promotion program. If approved the program would be financed by a $1 base assessment and take effect with the 1967 crop, facing opposition from the American Farm Bureau Federation and support from the National Cotton Council. Also covered are new minimum wage increases for agricultural workers and a record rise in baby chick hatching for broiler production in 1966.
