Bremer county farmers plan spring windbreaks and reforestation using space per tree. Gene Vincent explains spacing for three and two row evergreen windbreaks, hardwood windbreaks, wildlife shrubs, multiflora roses, and erosion control plantings with specific row and plant distances. Orders available from the State Conservation Commission Nursery in Ames via the County Extension or ASC offices.
Farm economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State University argues that price and income stabilization make up the largest USDA outlay and the program likely targeted for cuts. He notes nearly 3 billion in 1962 spending, with a third tied to CCC stockpiling of crop loans. He urges shrinking the national farm plant and contemplates supply controls or long term farm retirements as options.
Kutish argues that large USDA allocations like Food for Peace serve broader aims beyond farmers, suggesting they mirror foreign policy and national economic goals. He also notes domestic aid programs such as school lunches and Food Stamp efforts as part of this broad approach. Mrs. Jane Johnson of Hopkinton showcases 85 African violets with 50 in bloom.
The Bremer County Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Committee notes the 1961 wool incentive payments cover only wool and unshorn lambs sold before March 31, 1962. The program runs April 1, 1961 to March 31, 1962 with a 30 day filing window after closing.
County Extension Director Gene Vincent of Tripoli announced availability of the 1961 corn yield test publication. The report lists yield, stand, moisture, lodging, and dropped ears for hybrids across 12 districts with two test fields per district.
