Fuel shortages hit farmers across nine states
The Agriculture Department reported a tight supply of gasoline, diesel, and taxed fuels for farm use with some farmers in nine states temporarily out of fuel. The shortage stemmed partly from confusion over a new diesel allocation program and slow dissemination of essential delivery instructions to suppliers. Several farmers in California, Texas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Maine, South Carolina and more reported outages, while some still had allocations exhausted by November 20. Despite fuel constraints, harvesting of the 1974 grain and soybean crops neared completion, with cotton harvest lagging in Oklahoma and southern states.

He spoke at a conference on using garbage and solid wastes as alternative fuels and urged ending dumping due to environmental costs.
