Corn Controls Favored In
County Lancaster County
com producers voted 191 to
86 on Tuesday (Dec. 11) in
favor of the proposed new
federal control program for
corn. Nationally, however,
farmers rejected the measure.
Althougn some 10,000 pro
ducers in Lancaster County
were eligible to vote, only 277
votes were recognized of 293
cast, meaning that less than
three percent of eligible coun
ty farmers voted.
Nationally, the required
66.7 percent of favorable votes
needed to pass the program
fell short by about 5.5 per
cent.
