Americans' grocery buying power lengthens factory hours
USDA Foreign Agricultural Service data shows U S factory workers spent two hours 16 minutes on the job to pay for a nine item grocery list in 1975 up from 1974's 1 32. Foreign workers in 13 countries spent four hours 34 minutes, down from 4 50. The 1975 figures rely on lower wage assumptions, and officials say a full review is needed to confirm comparisons.

Last Year’s Crop Damage Not So Bad
Missouri officials say drought damage in the 1975 season was far less than 1974 estimates due to a spotty drought. FmHA projections now cap disaster loans around 30 million, with 54 counties still awaiting action. Soybeans yielded 113.5 million bushels, lower than 1973 but higher than 1974, while northern to southwestern areas saw mixed losses within counties.
