The survey of 1950s era soil bank plans indicates only about half of expected reductions in major crops like wheat corn cotton and rice as farmers shift to other crops and expand livestock feed grain plantings. Soybeans rise as land shifts from corn and cotton. rice may fall about 10 percent and tobacco about 17 percent while sugar beets dry beans and potatoes rise. Overall 59 crop acreage could be the smallest since 1917 though productivity per acre has grown due to advances in technology. The nickel coin note remarks that the first pure nickel coin was issued by Switzerland in 1881.
