Farmers Present Memorial Warns of Cropland Idle and Food Risk
A White House memorial from farm organizations warned President Wilson of a critical farm situation and a threatened food supply. It cited labor shortages reducing output in parts of the country and millions of farmland left uncropped as the wheat crop ran short by about 300 million bushels and corn suffered from late spring conditions. The Department of Agriculture meanwhile projected total 1920 wheat at 781 million bushels, down 160 million from 1919, with winter wheat 504 million and spring crop near five year average.
