Last summer Woody Diehl spent a lot of time in front of the picture window in the spacious living room of his wood and brick ranch house staring out at acres of corn stunted by drought. When the Diehls and eight other local farm families met with Carter next morning over coffee and rolls baked by a neighbor, the costly effects of central Iowa's drought were on all their minds. The group also discussed federal disaster assistance for farmers-Diehl himself will be eligible for payments this year-and the Administration's proposed feed-grains set-aside...
...write successful novels and marry C.P. Snow. Thomas went on to craft melodic verse and marry Caitlin Macnamara, a former playmate of Augustus John's. She was, said a London acquaintance, "like the figurehead of a ship, a fantastic poet's girl, a sort of corn-goddess." Of her marriage to Dylan, Caitlin wrote in Leftover Life to Kill, "We lived almost separate lives, though physically close, and passed each other with a detached phrase on strictly practical matters; as though we were no more than familiar landmarks, in the furniture of our minds.

...Yokum sees it, he may as well go on strike as try to keep farming. Even if he does not plant his 1978 crops, he can apply for a price-support loan on his current grain. He would get $2.04 per bu. of corn as opposed to the market price of $1.80. He would get $2.12 per bu. of wheat instead of $2.01, the current local price.
