Reducing Farm Agencies Favored by Lorain County Boards
Lorain County Farm Bureau Cooperative and Lorain County Farm Bureau boards in joint session urged consolidating agencies serving farmers. They proposed merging the Agricultural Extension Service, Production and Marketing Administration, Soil Conservation Service and Forest Service under a county agent and two central offices to cut costs and duplication. They also suggested merging the Farm Credit Administration with the Farmers Home Administration while praising expansion of the Agricultural Research Administration and Rural Electrification Administration. The meeting, at Secretary Brannan’s request, seeks farmer views on 11 agencies, stressing value of most agencies but cautioning against overprovision of aid to keep marginal farmers viable. In nearby Indiana, Donald R. King awoke after his car struck a guy wire and rolled over but escaped unharmed.
