Crop insurance reform eyed as 1990 farm bill hurdle
Washington AP reports that economists at USDA study four options to replace the current crop insurance program as Congress drafts the 1990 Farm Bill. They examine compulsory insurance, free insurance, a disaster payment swap, and a revenue linked catastrophic plan. High farmer participation could reduce ad hoc disaster aid and curb overall costs.

Maryland Dairy Shrine Inducts Ray H Smith For Pioneering Dairy Work
Ray H. Smith, a South Dakota bred dairyman who built a nationally influential Holstein program at Monocacy Meadows in Frederick, was inducted into the Maryland Dairy Shrine. He led research and breeding roles at Beltsville and Washington, authored Holstein histories, and his herd earned national acclaim with six All-American sired by Treasure Model Reflection E. and multiple Progressive Breeders awards before dispersal in 1966 due to his son's allergies.

Phase-out of subsidies could boost US corn farmers
A US Department of Agriculture study argues that eliminating farm subsidies and trade barriers could strengthen American corn producers in global coarse grain trade. It notes the US dominates production, exporters include the US, EC, Argentina and others, and that free trade would raise world meat demand and prices while shifting production toward efficient exporters.
