He opposed new farm labor legislation, favoring modifications to the farm labor exemption under the National Labor Relations Act.

Wintering Calves on Wheat Pasture Proves Profitable
Ross W. Swofford notes wheat pasture suits lightweight and heavier stocker calves for wintering with minimal ground damage. Gains of 1.5 pounds daily are common, protein content in wheat pasture ranges 34 to 14 percent from November to April, and calcium and magnesium needs are highlighted. For 300 to 500 lb steers, 11 percent protein suffices in ration dry matter, with NRC 1.1 daily gain for 500 lb calves needing 12.5 lb dry matter, 10.7 percent protein, and 61 percent TDN.

Fats and Oils Supply Seen Staying Lower Globally
An Agriculture Department expert says world fats and oils supplies will fall about two percent in 1975 from 1974. Tightness stems from reduced U.S. soybean output in 1974, with prices expected to stay high. Even with stock draws, per capita availability may dip slightly as consumption grows.

MU Researchers Study How Beans Make Nitrogen
University of Missouri researchers funded by the ASA Foundation study soybean nitrogen sources. They found nodules fix atmospheric nitrogen and also reduce soil nitrates, reshaping understanding of soybean metabolism. Growth chamber and greenhouse experiments this winter control environment to map nitrate reduction and fixation through the season.
