World Soybean Situation Looms Worse
A senior Agriculture Department official warns reduced prospects for Brazil’s 1977 soybean harvest will tighten world supplies, lifting U.S. prices and possibly prompting more 1977 plantings. Bell notes Brazil’s next crop will be smaller than prior estimates but 1977 harvests may still set records, while U.S. farmers cut soybean plantings in favor of corn and cotton.

Bennett Stands Put On Nursing Home Aid
Gov. Robert F. Bennett said he will urge the 1977 legislature to continue state nursing home payments at the present level, rejecting a 50 percent cut proposal. He cited rising medical costs and said maintaining the 75th percentile of average costs will keep care available for those in need while addressing wage concerns for aides and a forthcoming federal minimum wage directive. The move aims to prevent closures and worsening access, especially in rural areas, amid growing budget pressures.
