Cong W C Vursell argues the farm bill discriminates against Illinois and small farmers. He cites wartime price supports, Poage’s diversion provision, soil bank impacts, and a two price system for wheat as depressing prices for corn and livestock. He estimates potential gains from different legislative paths reaching into the billions.

Spring Fertilizing Ups Forage Yields and Savings
The Mid west Soil Improvement Committee urges spring fertilizing to extend grazing, raise forage yields, and cut feed costs for dairy and beef cattle. Agronomists advise 300 lb acre phosphate potash fertilizer on permanent pastures with 30 to 60 lb acre nitrogen if needed, and similar on rotational lands. Rotational grazing and timely haying protect stands and boost total feed.
