County AAA Chief Seeks Wheat to Cover Short Feed Needs
Archie Beard state AAA chairman says one ear of feed wheat will cover minimum farmer needs after the corn freeze. Illinois farmers have pledged over 20.3 million bushels of corn for war materials. The feed tightness forced reliance on wheat and limited corn. The North Central regional director indicates the corn freeze will lift once processor minimums are met. Corn products are urgently needed for weapons and supplies.
