Water quality and agricultural economics span Texas plains
Nitrate levels in High Plains playas reach up to 95 mg per liter while most samples stay under 0.5 mg. Farmers reclaim wetland runoff, with recharge to the Ogallala formation. The Texas Experiment Station cofounds a broader study. Also, the 1969 agricultural census moves to mail questionnaires in January 1970 to collect farm data for national trends. Federal officials say confidentiality will be maintained and results shape five-year farming policy. Adjustments in currencies are not expected to affect U S agricultural exports much, while West Germany may benefit. Nearly 11,000 Texas farmers used FCIC crop insurance in 1968, with 36.6 million dollars in crop investments protected and 3.8 million in losses recovered, mainly to cotton.
