BABSON DISCUSSES THE CROP SITUATION

Babson Park, Mass, October 18.
AS far as crop production is con-
cerned, American farmers have
done an outstanding job in recent
years, despite acreage controls and
in some sections unfavorable grow
ing conditions. Although l do not
look for a record total outturn this
year it should not be far under the
relatively high level of 1856.
Summer Results
Wheat did somewhat better this
season than last, but the total in
dicated crop was 16 per cent un-
der the 1945-1954 average of 1,14S,-
289, 1000 bushels. However, we can
get along well enough for a while
without billion-bushel wheat crops,
since the bread grain at present
constitutes one of the major sur
plus farm commodities. The U. S.
carryover last July l topped one
billion bushels, but CIuch of it was
in government hands. The loan
program will again siphon a sub
stantial portion of the current crop
out of commercial channels. This
factvis a favorable sign.
Most of the other summer-harvest
crops did fairly well, with oats per-
haps the major exception. Although
the Outturn was the smallest since
1945, total supplies should suffice.
Ample supplies of barley and flax
seed will be available for the 1856
1857 season. The barley crop was
the fourth, and the f1axseed crop the
second. largest of record Farmers
this year produced the third larg-
es- hay crop ever. but spot supplies
in drought-stricken areas NAV be
tight from time to time I expect
Milford chronicle., 1956-10-19

grain and hay prices to average
higher over the longer term.
Outlook For Corn And SOybeans
There is no question as to the
adequacy of corn for the current
season. The above-average 1856
crop, plus the large carryover
from previous years, spells record
total supplies. Since the govern
ment owns or controls more than
1.000,000,000 bushels, and since |
forecast that sizable portion of
the 1856 crop will enter the loan,
free stocks need not prove burden
some While moderate price week
ness is likely during heavy snip
mems this fall, the market should
average higher as the season ad-
vances.
The U. S. 1856 soybean crop is
by far the largest on record and
will exceed total requirements by
wide margin. Just how much
downward pressure these heavy
supplies will exert on prices re-
mains to be seen. The test should
come soon, with marketings at
their seasonal peak. The govern
ment loan, which averages $215
a bushel on the farm, could but
tress prices Growers and process
sors have discussed the problem
of heavy soybean supplies with the
government, and further govern
ment moves may be made to help
prices.
Cotton And other Fall Crops /,
The 1856 U. S. cotton crop. now
being harvested, is not burdensome,
since indications are that domes-
tic consumption and exports will
exceed it. Although the carryover
Milford chronicle., 1956-10-19

last August 1 was huge-around
this reserve was in government
hands and viii not now glut COM
mercial channels. The good pres
ent demand, plus the influence of
the CCC loan, could strengthen
cotton prices.
The indicated dry bean crop is
not far from average and should
suffice for needs. The rice outturn
is somewhat above average, but
need not prove burdensome. l now
forecast that prices of both these
items will work higher over the
longer term. The late potato crop is
on the heavy side, but the govern
ment's diversion program should
prevent any drastic price decline
this fall.
A Glance Ahead
The course of farm prices is
vital not only to farmers them
selves, but to the nation. The trend
has been moderately downward
for several months, but the drop
from mid-August to id-September
was only O59o. While further
slight near-term weakness is poss-
ible, the future is uncertain.
Concerning the problem of farm
surpluses, acreage controls and the
Soil Bank program could prove
quite helpful for awhile; but ]
fear we have not yet found the ulti-
mate solution. / do not know how
farmers feel about the coming
Presidential election, but / hope
they will honor the dictates OF
their conscience and keep the well
fare of the country as a whole
clearly in mind.
