Farm Bill Hits Snag in House Action Delay
Washington AP reports a revolt among leading House Democrats against rising farm-subsidy costs threatens to block House action on two major farm bills. One would raise price supports for small livestock feed grains. the other would curb a wheat surplus by higher supports in exchange for reduced plantings. The House Rules Committee’s stance risks continuing the current wheat program for another year. Secretary Benson must announce 1960 wheat marketing quotas and acreage allotments by Monday, with possible retroactive changes if Congress acts within 10 days.

Harvest Your First Cutting Alfalfa In Full Bud Stage
Farmers are advised to cut alfalfa at the full bud stage for tastier hay with higher protein and nutrients. Cutting at half bloom can require up to 26 more pounds of hay per 100 pounds of milk. An Iowa time study shows up to 24 percent of field time spent repairing balers, risking weather delays.
