Governors discuss farm parity and production controls in six-state meeting
Six Midwest governors meeting at the Minnesota Capitol heard Montana's Tom Judge and North Dakota's Arthur Link denounce government as a permanent presence in agriculture while urging acceptance of production controls to reach 100 percent parity. Nebraska's Exon proposed a national referendum offering parity in exchange for a 25 percent production cut, arguing overproduction drives price swings and the farm strike.

Deadline Looms for 1977 Wool Incentive Payments
Area sheep farmers face January 31 deadline to file 1977 wool incentive payment applications. Eligible bidders must bring receipts from wool or unshorn lamb sales to their local ASCS office by month end. The incentive equals the gap between the national average wool price and the 0.99 dollar per pound price support, with past years showing variable takeups.

Old WWII plane mapping Wisconsin farms for minerals
An aged Navy PBY operated by Geoterrex of Ottawa is crisscrossing west central and northern Wisconsin farms in a bid to locate copper, lead, zinc, and possibly gold uranium or petroleum. French Canadian pilot Roger Boutin guides the craft daily from Eau Claire airport while geologists review photos and charts. The mission, expected to wrap within two weeks, follows a past crash that claimed a crew member, with collaboration from Minneapolis and Ernest Lehmann associates and ties to prior mineral discoveries.
