Fertilizer Prices Likely To Rise Again In 1975
Washington AP reports that fertilizer prices may climb another 10 to 15 percent in coming months, though less than the doubling seen last spring. The USDA Outlook Board says the price spiral may be easing and farmer purchases last half of 1974 slackened from 1973. Senator Talmadge urges top natural gas priority for nitrogen production to avert shortages and higher costs. The Fertilizer Institute backs priority for gas to boost output as plants add capacity, with 1975 supplies likely tighter despite new facilities and a projected five percent output rise.

University of Missouri Columbia swine specialist John Rea says pasture can cut grain costs by 3 to 10 percent and protein needs by up to one third. Legume pastures like alfalfa and clover are most valuable with rotation grazing improving growth and reducing parasites. Adequate water, shade, and summer fogging boost gains.
