Nebraska Supports Wheat Market Development Project
Nebraska Wheat Commission chairman Ervain Friehe announced a $25,000 contract with Western Wheat Associates to fund market development work in Japan and Southeast Asia. The project, July 1 1966 to June 30 1967, aims to improve the movement of hard red winter wheat from Nebraska to West Coast ports for shipment to Japan. Gene Vickers will head the project as director of planning and special projects in WWA's Washington office, bringing decades of Asia market experience to increase Nebraska wheat flow to Japan. Japan is the top cash market for U S wheat and vital to Nebraska growers.

No Need For Fertilizing Wheat In Both Spring And Fall
A study by Louis Daigger shows no yield improvement from both spring and fall fertilizer applications on wheat. Field plots tested four treatments including 60 lbs nitrogen with 10 lbs phosphorus and 40 lbs nitrogen in fall or spring, with mixed results but no clear advantage over no fertilizer. Wheat variety discussions highlight Gage Scout Lancer and Warrior for rust resistance and hardiness, with emphasis on winter survivability and baking quality. Cattle and hog prices, milk, and egg values are noted alongside regional agricultural outlook and policy considerations.
