Nebraska Farmers Face Extra Fuel Needs From Land Set Aside
County USDA Emergency Boards estimate 1 838 000 acres will be released in Nebraska in 1973. About 992 000 acres will grow feed grain, 272 000 acres soybeans, 385 000 acres summer tilled, 189 000 acres hay and pasture. Dr Splinter says 2000 new irrigation wells will require 16 to 20 million gallons of diesel. A planting intentions survey will be taken mid March. Gary Mentink hosted February 14 dinner for Florence Watts, with Ron Watts visiting from Omaha last weekend.
