ASCS Executive Director announces amendments allowing county committees to adjust conserving bases through an appeal process for bonafide changes in farming operations. The extension covers the wheat and feed grain sign up period from March 1 to April 9, with adjustments possible when conserving crops shift to non-conserving crops or similar changes occur.
The producer and the agent must agree in writing to set aside acreage that was in crops for harvest or diverted in 1970. Such acreage must meet or exceed the average productivity of the land that supplies the crop for payment. Adjustments to conserving base are not made to accommodate required set-aside acres and base is set on intended 1971 cropping. Set-aside comes from the acreage planned for cropping and uses proper land use standards.
Senator James B. Pearson visited S Lester Jacksons stock farm near Hiattville Kansas seeking farmer concerns on U S foreign relations and farming economics The talks touched corn grading standards inflation land prices and young farmers entry into farming while Jackson urged aligning standards with international norms to ease exports and Pearson considered drafting new rules.
The piece urges a shift from rural to urban life while stressing nature as vital to health. It notes National Lawn and Garden Week sponsored by USDA and garden groups, invites planting in all urban spaces, and emphasizes involving children to foster ecological conscience for a humane future.
The Agriculture Department reports February milk output at just over nine billion pounds, a one percent rise from a year earlier. Daily production averaged five percent higher than January, per the Crop Reporting Board.
Seeding of oats and spring barley in Kansas was slow by March 13 with oats at 5 percent complete and spring barley at 1 percent, well below year ago levels and the 10 year average. Wheat fields greened but remained thin in spots with limited surface moisture and some blowing risk. Hessian fly and greenbug reports appeared in a few counties amid ongoing cattle feeding and grazing shifts, and storm losses of newborn calves and pigs were noted. Feedlots stayed muddy, hindering gains.
Kansas farmers plan to plant 7.156 million acres to feed grains this year the largest since 1960. The figure is about nine percent above 1970. Sorghums are set at 5 million acres up 13 percent while corn plantings total 1.7 million acres down one percent.
