»*/**■
This high yielding Hoffman Formula caught on right
from the beginning, and is now at the top of the list in
popularity.
It’s a scientific alfalfa/timothy formulation that helps
progressive grassland farmers reach new high levels of
high-quality forage on good, fertile, well-drained soil.
All alfalfas are newer, improved types most ex
clusive with Hoffman. The strong points of the different
strains combine to give you broad disease protection in
vigorous, long-lived stands. Timothy strains have been
selected for feafiness and yieldability.
This is only one of 14 outstanding hay, grass silage
and pasture formulas from Hoffman. See your Hoffman
Seed Man for details.

to take action to protect feed
grain and wheat producers
against a recurrence of the
problems they so often have
encountered under past
government loan
programs,” he said.
“To assure private control
of wheat and feed grain
supplies, and to prevent the
accumulation of stocks in
government hands in the
future, we recommend that
CCC loans for these com
modities be shifted to -a
recourse basis, with the
interest rate based on the
cost of money to the
government.”
He said recourse loans
would discourage producers
from turning grain over to
the government, as the
limits, revenue sharing
programs, nuclear power
plants, and aid to South
Vietnam.

borrower would be liable for
an additional amount in
cases where the market
value of the grain turned
over to the government is
less than the full amount of
the loan.
He recommended that
recourse loans be initiated
on a trial basis this year by
giving producers of these
crops the alternative of
obtaining either nonrecourse
loans at the already an*
nounced rates or recourse
loans at substantially higher
levels.
The Federation president
said that the escalation
clause of the 1973 Farm Act
should be made effective for
the 1975 cotton crop and the
CCC loan rate should be set
high enough to facilate or
derly marketing.
Kuhfuss said livestock
producers currently are in a
difficult situation “due to a
number of factors including
the effects of government
efforts to control prices, a
long-continued buildup in
cattle numbers, and higher
feed prices brought on by
adverse weather.” He op
posed the establishment of
production quotas or target
prices for soybeans and
emphasized that the ob
jective of the Farm Bureau,
is to create conditions that
will enable agriculture to
operate under the market
price system.
