Long Difficult Hours But Farmers Are Getting Bulk of Crops
The Malvern Leader notes southwest Iowa farmers faced excessive moisture early, hail damage, limited crop growth, and late harvests with beans and corn slow to dry. Despite snow and cold, many farmers are bringing in crops, aiming for a strong year though harvest hurdles persist. It argues private enterprise aids production, urges consumer groups to recognize farming costs beyond farm prices, and highlights processing and distribution as major food cost elements.

Key points: Russian purchases may not reach 1972 levels, price-war exports risk profitability for American farmers, competition from Canada Australia and Argentina could rebound in 1973, and exporters may drain dollars from the U.S. Farmers should seek world price floors to cover production costs, especially for soybeans.
