Farm Experts Race Against Science For Crop Controls
Farm officials in Washington say they race against modern science to cut crop surpluses with Commodity Credit Corporation holdings totaling 3.5 billion dollars. They note cotton yields rose from 238 pounds per acre a decade ago to 285 this year while corn yields climbed from 29 to 39 bushels per acre since 1939. They warn it may be a losing race as policy shifts seek to discourage plantings and reduce acreages.
