Weeds Rule Production Costs On U S Farms
Washington based Weed Society of America led by Dr. Warren C. Shaw reports weeds drive at least half of soil moving energy and costs on U S farms. Estimates show earth moved equal to a 100 ft high ridge one mile wide, comparable to the New York to San Francisco mileage. Exports of soybeans in 1963-64 projected at 190 million bushels with Japan as top destination at 27 percent of sales. Canada follows, with Europe as potential market via St Lawrence Seaway.
