Social Security concerns rise with funding strains
A Kansas congressman recalls an elderly man asking if Social Security will go broke. He argues withdrawals by government bodies, rising benefits, Medicare linkage, and tax burdens threaten solvency.

Corn crop outlook slides f r e a fish Iowa hit hard
Dry weather kept shriveling corn harvest prospects in parts of the Midwest while the national corn crop remains in fair to good condition. The USDA reduced the July forecast by about 366 million bushels, with Iowa shouldering the bulk of the cut. The agency will publish updated figures Sept. 10 amid ongoing moisture shortfalls. Milk output rose in July aided by higher prices, totaling 10.45 billion pounds, up 4.8 percent from July 1975 and 2.7 percent above July 1974, with seven months of 1976 showing a 3.5 percent gain from last year.

State Farm Bureau Reverses Position on Wheat Set-Aside Plan
Kansas State Farm Bureau, at a Manhattan board meeting, endorsed a set aside program for the 1977 wheat crop and urged Secretary Butz to act under the 1973 act. The plan would pay farmers to reduce production, likely about half of what full production would yield, according to John Armstrong. The bureau says the move is not a return to past grain policies and notes a large carryover and overproduction as farmers hold grain seeking higher prices.
