Marylands Farm Front This Week
Maryland farmers plan to feed livestock with Canadian wheat and home grown seeds next winter. Joseph H Blandford, chairman of Maryland USDA War Board, notes efforts to balance livestock feed plus growing meat production. A new thirty ton per day dehydration plant in Cambridge will supply military food needs, with six such plants planned in the state. Farm labor and draft deferments are urged to protect essential workers, dairy farm staffing and war construction permits are tightened by the Maryland USDA War Board to ensure feed fuel and equipment availability.
