Mondale Bergland urge re open sign up for farm program
Sen Walter Mondale and Rep Bob Bergland urged the Agriculture Department to re open sign ups for farmers who had elected partial compliance under the 1973 feed grain program. They protested changes made after signups closed, arguing full compliance becomes more attractive while partial compliance loses value and that farmers should be allowed to switch.

Vitamins Important For Swine In Ohio tests show effects
Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center trials on growing pigs show removing vitamin pre mixes lowers feed intake daily gain and feed efficiency. Without vitamins over the feeding period pigs take about 23 days longer to reach market weight. Adding vitamins from 120 pounds to market adds about five days to reach market weight. Only observable symptom is smaller size on the floor. Early weaning studies find four week and two week weanlings reach similar size by six weeks, with four weeks adapting faster to starter. Two week weaning can cut sow feed costs without hurting performance. The note includes a critical editorial on Washington policy and the safety of food additives and hormones.
