Burley Price Support Up 3.6 Per Cent
Burley price support for the 1969 crop was set nationally at 65.8 cents per pound, about 3.6 percent above prior levels. J S Rinack, Sullivan City Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee chair, cites higher farm input costs over the 1966-68 period and notes East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia markets rising into the 70s. Carmack explains that tobacco support levels reflect prices farmers paid for goods and services over the past three calendar years compared with 1939 baselines.

Hens Do Better With Less Water
In Blacksburg Virginia poultrymen are advised to provide water for about 16 minutes every five hours, with water available during daylight and shut off at night. The system should include a solenoid valve with an alarm, a strainer in the line, and careful timing to ensure birds stay hydrated when temperatures rise above 43 degrees. The article notes farm ownership and mentions Australia and a 1964 national champion, but focuses on water management practices for laying operations.
