Family Farm Bill Faces USDA Opposition in Congress
Washington leaders rejected a bill to ban vertical integration in farming, arguing it would curb family farms. Undersecretary J. Phil Campbell warned many producers would lose contract opportunities in broiler, egg, turkey, sugar beet, and sugar cane sectors. Deputy AG Bruce B. Wilson and Sen. Jim Abourezk urged enforcement of antitrust laws, noting potential harm to rural America and higher food prices.

Meat Price Controls Unlikely Says Agriculture Secretary
Secretary Earl L. Butz told National Pork Producers Council delegates there is no sign the Nixon administration will impose meat price controls. He cited exemptions for raw agricultural prices, perishability, and potential shortages as reasons against controls. He noted set aside acreage for 1972 grain oversupply would total 37 million acres and praised rising productivity.

Soil Conditioners Viewed as Risky Investments Across State
North Dakota State University researchers tested so called soil conditioners and found barley with conditioners yielded no better than untreated plots, while standard 20-40-30 fertilizer produced 83 bushels per acre. Experts say conditioners are not fertilizers and may be costly, with regular N P and lime applications offering clear profit.
