Georgia Farm Bureau tests direct meat sales at Macon market
In an experimental program, the Georgia Farm Bureau sells beef directly to consumers from a market in Macon. The effort, part of a broader push for farmer-to-consumer marketing, led to lower prices and higher quality perceived by shoppers. If successful, plans include more markets, possibly in Atlanta, as legislation to fund such marketing advances moves through Congress.

He notes sales through May 4 were below targets and that weather and planting conditions will largely drive further price strength. French champagne consumption rose 24 percent in 1975 to 93,983,410 bottles.

Alfalfa weevil threat persists across Iowa fields
Iowa experts note alfalfa weevil larvae remain damaging in southern and western Iowa near I 80, with central Iowa fields facing 2 to 3 weeks of feeding. Damage is patchy within fields and declines above I 80, while larvae in western counties Pottawattamie and Cass share ongoing risk. Farmers should inspect fields every 3 days and spray or cut when 25 percent of tips are damaged. Larvae near harvest stubble remain a concern.
