Reopened Wheat Program Opens Signups Through April 14
County Agent D. D. Offringa announces that farmers who grew wheat in 1930–1932 may sign up for the reopened wheat program, with changes for one year farmers. One-year participants receive smaller allotments but full 1933 payments, plus future-year payments, based on base production and reduced acreage. Sweet clover and seedings guidance from J. F. Cox notes avoid pasturing new seedings and favor establishing future pastures.

Sweet Clover Seeding Permitted by Contract
Sweet clover seedings may be made on acres retired from corn production under the corn hog contract signed by about 95 percent of eligible Iowa signers. Seedings cannot be used for pasturing during the contract term but may be used after December 1, 1934 when acres are released. Officials note confusion from several states and reference a recent ruling on the matter.

Study of the dairy situation examined by AAA officials
Six major points shaping the dairy problem were discussed during regional AAA conferences the week of April 27. Iowa participated in Kansas City and Des Moines sessions, with focus on price indexes from 1910 to 14, total dairy cash income drop since 1929, record cow numbers surpassing 26 million, rising cow population, a 5 percent fall in consumer dairy expenditures, and modest price gains amid reduced production. The proposed dairy adjustment aims to boost farmer income, stabilize production near recent lows until urban purchasing power recovers, and provide payments to cooperating producers.

New Pastures Help Control Livestock Parasites Across Farms
County agent D D Offringa cites WK W Stouder at Iowa State College who recommends frequent pasture rotation to curb internal parasites. With AAA land retirement, Iowa farmers can seed new pastures on former corn and wheat land to cut costs and reduce grazing restrictions after contracts end. Clean, temporary pastures benefit swine, sheep, horses, cattle, and poultry by breaking parasite life cycles and improving milk flow, growth, and disease prevention.
