As of September 1, U.S. tobacco production is seen at 1.22 billion pounds, down 19 percent from 1985 due to reduced acreage and yields. Dry southern weather lowered leaf quality, though overall quality remains relatively good and prices at flue-cured auctions stay lower after a reduced support level.
Wholesale dairy prices and farm milk have climbed since late spring due to reduced production, strong commercial use, and low stocks. A moderate autumn rise is expected, with 1986 production likely 1 percent above 1985 and August milk output down 2 percent from a year earlier despite a small per cow gain.
Steve Spencer of Pennsylvania State University extension dairyman argues milking machines are not the primary mastitis source. Danish study shows infections in problem herds relate to machines in only 3.2 percent bucket milking and 6.6 percent pipeline milking, unless pulsation fails. He urges proper machine adjustment, vacuum control, gentle liner fit, dry cows before attachment, and vigilant maintenance to reduce reverse flow and bacteria entry.
A narrator recounts dust filled streets, broken sidewalks, and freezing winters as families rely on Salvation Army soup lines and bucket coal. They describe hooverville shantytowns, scarcity, and rationed food, noting Hoover and inflation worsened by politics and a harsh economic divide.
Governor Anthony S. Earl outlined a refinancing proposal to save Wisconsin farmers at least 5 million annually by purchasing FmHA loans and reselling at lower, guaranteed rates. The plan, needing legislative bond authority, targets 3.5 percent rate cuts and could cut annual payments by about 5,250 on a 150,000 loan. Earl spoke at the National Farmers Organization convention while seeking re election. He urged bank and federal cooperation to make open market financing accessible to farmers and called for more property tax relief beyond the 800 million aid in the 1985 87 budget.
