More Spring Wheat Asked Of Farmers
The United States Department of Agriculture issued a supplementary food production program urging increased spring wheat acreage and higher output of meat, dairy, cereals, sugar, and perishables. It stresses meeting U S and allied needs in 1918 with guidance on hogs, poultry, and farm labor, and outlines how to reallocate crops like oats and barley to support wheat. The plan calls for regional shifts, including northern states planting more spring wheat and the South boosting local food and feed production.
