Turkish farmers shift from poppies to sugar beets and barley
Turkish farmers in a former poppy region report losses as sugar beets and barley fail as substitutes. Mayor Hakki Yagei of Usak notes partial government subsidies, and says poppy stalks were used for cattle feed and heating. A six week US tour by Turkish officials and scholars is sponsored by USAID. The poppy halt was at the US request as it fed heroin production. In Berkeley, the Baptist Divinity School plans a move to Covina to escape Berkeley’s politics.
