Wheat, which sold for $2.92 per bu. last year, is bringing $2.55 in Kansas City. Corn has dropped from $2.75 per bu. to $1.80 in Chicago, soybeans from a high of $10.45 last spring...
Bergland is sidestepping the parity issue. He argues that the new farm bill, signed into law in September, will benefit farmers more than they think. It raised price supports for corn from $1.75 per bu. to $2, and the target price of wheat from $2.47 to $3. Both programs distribute money to farmers when prices fall below certain levels. In November $1 billion in Government checks will begin going out to wheat growers for their summer crop. When that happens, Bergland believes, the farm heat may simmer down...

...thesis should be a learning expeience," says Irene Rosenberg '78, who is studying the structure of DNA taken from corn chloroplast into E. coli bacteria. She hopes to learn about lab techniques, and in the process, contribute information that may someday lead to benefits such as higher crop yields. "My project isn't earth-shattering, it's not cornshattering, either," she says, "but it will provide some information...
