Food production and war aids lift Idaho crops 1943
The July national crop report signals a 3 percent rise in food crop acreage in 1943 despite a 10 percent drop in production per acre. Livestock gains offset lower yields, with 25 percent of food output directed to the war effort. War programs expand fanweed seed use, small motor production, and wheat loans while wheat plantings focus on war needs and soil practices.
