...away with it. Early in 1954 one of his proteges was denounced in Pravda itself. Genetics of true scientific type began to be taught and used again. When Soviet agriculturists visited the U.S. last summer, they were enormously impressed by hybrid corn and ordered carloads of seed...

With bigger machines, better seed and fertilizer, farmers produced enough to feed a much bigger population, and the nation's surpluses mounted-14.5 million bales of cotton, 938 million bu. of wheat, 3.2 billion bu. of corn. Inevitably, farm prices skidded, and gross farm income dropped to $32.6 billion, down $4.5 billion in four years...
