Modern farming needs tools of big business says Penn State dean
Dr Russell E. Larson told 75 bankers at a Penn State agricultural credit conference that farmers must use modern record keeping, farm management, and capital know how. He said agriculture accounts for large shares of Pennsylvania industry and foresees fewer but larger units serving growing global demand. He cited rising automation, labor costs, specialization, and market concentration as trends shaping the industry.

Sloping Wire Floors Cut Egg Problems in Penn State Poultry
Dr. Glenn O. Bressler of Penn State’s poultry science department describes sloping wire floors and roll away nests as solving the floor egg problem. In Penn State trials with over 6,000 Leghorn layers, pullet production averaged over 250 eggs per layer in a year, with low mortality and good feed conversion.

NFU President Calls 67 Wheat Plan Inadequate
National Farmers Union President Tony Dechant says the 1967 wheat program announced by Secretary Freeman does not meet price and income goals. He urges 25 cent export certificates and warns a mandatory certification or 1965 act amendment may follow if exports aren’t price-supporting. Dechant notes lower blend price and shrinking carryover risk, stressing the need for higher farmer income to prevent shortages.
