Midwest tops in regional farm output despite California lead
California led all states in overall farm sales totaling 5.474 billion dollars for 1972, but the Midwest remained the nation's biggest regional producer. Iowa and California led in livestock and crops respectively, with state rankings showing Kansas rising to fifth and Minnesota dropping to seventh. Dairy, hogs, soybeans, corn and wheat were major commodities. A separate dairy hearing was set for Aug 28 to discuss higher milk price proposals under federal orders. A third notice announced new tagging rules requiring identification of most cattle over two years shipped across state lines to combat animal diseases.
