Washington AP reports spring weather delays seedings of oats and barley in the South and Midwest, possibly shifting acreage to corn and soybeans. Officials fear a larger corn crop could influence the fall political landscape, as the Eisenhower administration promotes a free acreage program with price supports but no quotas. Critics cite last year’s larger corn output as evidence that deregulation expands surpluses.
