The ta74 crop figures now iH-iiig i eleased by I'SDA prove that Karl But was dead wrong While Butz was giving us a lot ot happy talk this past year, we were plunged into a drastic fuel shortage The lack of natural gas dried up our supplies of artificial fertilizer Last fall, Senators Hubert Mumphrey. George McGovern and other congressional farm leaders warned that the fertilizer shortages would cut grain production far short of Administration predictions.

The loss of conservation programs that had restored and preserved our lands for 30 years since the dust bowl days mean a thing, according to the Administration. Yet those 60 million additional acres were marginal lands, with soil more prone to erosion, Iowa farmers found out that during the floods in that region this spring. Also, marginal lands would require extra doses of fertilizer. Where was this to came from if we had less fertilizer available than last year9 With shortage bins emptied out to meet foreign demand, a lot of us started talking about strategic grain reserves. We did not mean large stores of government-held grain that could be dumped on the market to depress farm prices.

We did mean, as some Senators have proposed, an over-normal granary of government stocks that would return grain to the market in times of scarcity at prices fair to farmers. No. said Earl Butz. The government is not going to get involved in agriculture. Commodity credit loans were held so that farmers saw no point in holding their grains in storage.

A lot of us said that strategic reserves had to be built.
