Iowa corn farmer Roswell Garst and Dr. Birdsall led a 1964 Salvador demonstration that dramatically raised per acre yields. Private seeds and fertilizer funded the effort, turning Salvador into a rice exporter in 1967 and aiming for corn export by 1968. The project, praised by AID, spurred broader Alliance for Progress goals and inspired calls for new agricultural agencies.
