Plains area poised for record grain sorghum yield in 1970
The Avalanche-Journal notes an official forecast of 1,840,000 bales for a two-county zone, possibly boosting regional income by about 338 million dollars.

General rains are needed to sustain yields as the Plains’ agriculture hinges on grain sorghum performance and prices. A separate item reports a French hospital case after a man attempted self immolation by fire in Beurlag, Bordeaux, with critical injuries.
