Fertilizer Shortage Threatens 1946 Kern County Potatoes
Kern County potato growers face difficulty securing enough nitrogen for the 1946 crop. M A Lindsay of the Agricultural Extension Service notes a need of about 35 million pounds. Local farm groups push for early release through state and federal channels as plans tally fertilizer costs and seed purchases nearing a million dollars. The 1946 crop may be affected by uncertain acreage and a two year postwar support price set at 90 percent of parity.
