Area Donation to CROP Collection Stays High
A Saline area drought cut corn yield to 60 percent but farmers kept CROP donations strong. Cash gifts dominated as farmers saved corn for feed, with Saline Mer cantile Co and local elevator manager Lyle Phillips coordinating. Russell Hartzgleier, state CROP chair, notes cash converted to market corn while shipments focused on wheat. CROP, started in 1946 by Church World Service and backed by Farm Bureau, aids needy in 50 countries.
