Kenneth E. Frick of the ASCS explains target prices are adjusted using a formula to reflect higher production costs and that loan rates rise similarly. He notes the 1976 target prices for wheat, corn, and cotton and says payments protect farmers if market prices fall below target levels.
Girls in Kern County are invited to enter the Miss Kern County Farm Bureau pageant. Applicants must be Kern County Farm Bureau family members aged 18 to 27, single with no children.
