Direct Effects of 1946 Grain Policies on Douglas County Livestock
Douglas county farmers and livestock producers face immediate impact from new 1946 grain management policies by the U S Department of Agriculture. The plan sets wheat and protein feed price ceilings, earmarks a quarter of the crop for export, and requires half the wheat bought by traders to go to the Commodity Credit Corporation. Officials emphasize preserving livestock production, urging culling of weak stock, maximizing forage use, and tightening feed rations while monitoring prices. Community leaders urge planning to align farming with these measures to balance livestock and grain supplies.
