Major change boosts top diversion in feed grain program
The Democrat reports details of the 1964-65 feed grain program for Palo Alto County from ASCS office manager Lawrence D. Brennan. Total support for corn is 41.16 per bushel with a 161 loan rate and .15 cent payment, higher than prior levels. Soybeans get 2.25, barley .73, grain sorghum 1.77 per cwt. The key change is a higher top diversion limit from a farm's base acreage and higher payment rate for maximum diversion. Page 2.

Road widening on Highway 18 to 24 feet from Emmetsburg to Ruthven
Highway officials announce a plan to resurface and widen Highway 18 from Emmetsburg to Ruthven to 24 feet this fall, with a letting date set for September 10. The project mirrors the earlier widening from Emmetsburg to Algona, reducing the road’s current 18 feet by adding six inches on each side where edge curving narrows the path. Senator John Brown learned of the plan from Harry J. Bradley of the State Highway Commission, who said work would begin promptly rather than waiting for 1967. The 12 mile Emmetsburg to Ruthven stretch and the Ruthven to Spence segment are included.
