Two efforts, each designed to
improve the farmer's economic
position, are driving towards a
possible„ collision in, r the U.S.
nation's corn fields, One is push-
ing for .increased productivity;
the other for 'reduction of out-

Will it be possible, by skillful

Experts say the answer is yes,
if farmers can 'achieve at the
same time both higher produc-
tivity per acre and reduced total
production — or greatly expand-
ed markets. Recognition of the
need to Jdo this. and the great
difficulty of doing it lie behipd
