Northcutt Boars Shine At Hampshire Show
Walter B. Northcutt of Middletown Missouri posted high placing boars at the National Hampshire Winter Meat Hog Conference in Dothan Alabama in early January. His entries earned 4th 5th and 6th prizes in Class 2 with sires Brummie and Dan. Rural water charges via FmHA funded systems draw scrutiny in a Senate House hearing where averages range from about 8 to 34 dollars monthly and concerns about funding loans and grants persist. Loans for grain drying facilities have more than doubled with 41.4 million dollars disbursed to 8 571 borrowers in six months ending December 31 compared with 17.8 million to 4 591 a year earlier.

Trend Toward Fewer Larger Farms Continues in 1975
The Agriculture Department reports 1975 saw a slow continuation of the shift to larger farms. As of January 1, there are about 2,786,000 farms, down 22,000 from 1975, averaging 389 acres each, up two acres. Total farmland exceeds 1.08 billion acres, down 1.3 million from last year, with land use shifting due to highways, urban sprawl, and recreation. Texas leads with 205,000 farms, while Alaska has the fewest at 300, unchanged from 1975. Pennsylvania shows a rise to 73,000 farms, up 1,000.
