Wheat Profits Boosted by Spring Plant Food Use
Middle West Soil Improvement Committee reports fertilizer on small grains this spring increases yields. Wheat, oats, and corn show higher bushels per acre with nitrogen, phosphate, and potash applications. Indiana and Wisconsin tests indicate profitable top-dressing and starter fertilization boosting head fullness, kernel plumpness, and root vigor during drought.

Illinois ag president pushes soil bank bill after veto
Otto Steffey of the Illinois Agricultural Association urged immediate enactment of soil bank legislation and raising the 1966 corn acreage allotment from 43 to 61 million acres. He called for land put into the bank to qualify for price supports and tied the move to counter surpluses after Eisenhower vetoed the farm bill.
