Kennedy Farm Proposals and Surplus Policy Debates
The Kennedy program targets a balance where farm output meets national needs at a return comparable to other sectors. It favors production limits to cut surpluses, higher farm prices, cropland retirements, and greater product use, with 50 million acres diverted from farming. Critics warn Congress may trim the program’s teeth. The note also urges more industrial-use research for farm products and considers farmer attitudes toward surpluses and timing risks.

Economist predicts doom for small rural centers

The piece defends local agency and rejects a fixed population threshold.

Changes In The Feed Grain Program For 1962
County agent notes outline four changes from 1961 affecting eligibility for payments and basing acreage. Sweet sorghums for silage count in base while those for hay do not. Diverted irrigated feed grains may yield irrigated rates if corn or sorghum on dryland is reduced. Sprinkler irrigated pasture on class 3 land produced beef gains and noted cost and irrigation data. 1961 shows highest net profit at 565 pounds per acre equaling $104.72.
