Seed Shortage Spurs 1944 Farm Seed Drive in Idaho
Franklin county farmers urged to boost grass and legume seed production for 1944 under Lend-Lease needs. Wilford Stokes, AAA committee chair, said Idaho’s hay and pasture seeds are in short supply as allies demand seed for forage crops and livestock. Price supports and a 3.50 per acre payment apply to eligible grasses and legumes harvested for seed. 1,000,000 pounds of alfalfa seed were requested in 1943 but unmet. Northern alfalfa seed favored for hardiness.
