Midwest farmers fear corn blight threatens 1971 harvest
Midwest farmers warn the corn blight could worsen in 1971 after destroying over ten percent of the 1970 crop. Experts note spores survived subzero temperatures near the Canadian border and may become active again this summer. Corn provides over 70 percent of feed for U.S. cattle, hogs, and poultry, so shortages could raise prices for beef, pork, milk, eggs, and chicken. Drought in the southwest compounds feed crop losses, increasing the potential food problem. See FARMS, Page 9.
