Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sugar Act Extension, 1974: Hearings Before the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Ninety-Third Congress, Second Session Few would argue that cotton and sugar beets compete for the same acreage in the Central Valley of California or that grain and sugar beets compete for irrigated acreage in the Northern Plains and the Northwest. Soybeans and corn may be on the way as alter native crops for sugar cane in the southern United States. Whether we like it or not, this interrelationship dictates a long, hard look at cotton, wheat and feed grain legislation as we consider new sugar legislation. The Act of 1970 introduced set-aside programs for cotton, feed grains, and wheat. It moved agriculture away from tight acreage allotment and marketing quota programs that had restricted pro duction for more than 30 years. It looked outward instead of inward and enabled producers to reach competitively toward the growing world markets. Most importantly, it fostered the reestablishment of peaceful trade relationships with the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China, and brought world recognition to the United States as the greatest and most reliable source of food and fiber.
