Drouth relief plan proposed for Panhandle counties
A governor’s committee in Sid ney heard 50 farmers and ag officers describe extreme drought across Deuel Kimball and Cheyenne counties. They urged grazing of land in reserves, silage harvest without penalties, low cost CCC feed stocks, lower freight rates for feed and cattle shipments, and possible ACP funds for soil conservation to avert next year’s crisis. Wheat and feed grain sign ups appear unlikely without federal approval.
