Cheyenne County Seeding and Acreage Increases For 1967 Wheat
Cheyenne County farmers can plant about 44 000 more acres for 1967 than 1966 due to a 30 percent total hike in acre allotments and new 15 percent allowance. With a 25 bushel yield, the increase could add over one million bushels to the 1967 harvest. Seeding will begin soon, typically late August to mid September, weather permitting. Crop reports note Nebraska's 1966 yield near 35 bushels per acre and a record 102 million bushels statewide for winter wheat, alongside higher estimates for sugar beets grain sorghum and dry beans.

Commission Orders Hike In Oil Levy
The Nebraska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission raised the conservation mill levy on crude oil dry gas and casing head gas to two mills per dollar value at the well. The increase takes effect Sept 1 1966 and applies to production after that hour. The prior 1.75 mill levy remains until then and further increases may be pursued in 1967 due to rising operating costs from government reorganization and potential lower oil output.
