Research Needed To Help Move Alabama Crops
Auburn Alabama June 10 The President's Commission on Increased Industrial Use of Agricultural Products calls for a greatly expanded industrial uses research program. Agriculture lags in research spending versus industry, with total agricultural research about 375 million dollars and federal and state funding of 190 million. The report urges tripling industrial uses funding to 16 million, more support for new crop research, development, incentives, fellowships, and contracts to move findings to trial scale. It also stresses bridging the awkward established stage and financing to turn surplus farm products into industrial uses.

Extension Service added extra paid workers to promote small farms, though federal funding remains tight as under secretary seeks only four million dollars for Rural Development. At Childhaven Farm 140 cattle and 270 hogs plus three broiler houses support a grass育 program using broiler manure to fertilize pastures.
