Farmers to Get
More Money For
Hogs, Beef in 1857

Maryland farmers will prob.
ably receive higher prices for
milk, hogs, beef and tobacco next
year according to the 1857 agri
cultural outlook report released
Monday by the University OF
Maryland Department of Agricul.
tural Economics.
At the same time, farmers will
probably receive less for eggs,
broilers, turkeys, soybeans and
vegetables, the report showed.
The outlook for corn in 1857 is
very uncertain because corn pric-
es may be influenced by support
prices or the acreage reserve pro-
gram of the Soil Bank Act.
Farm income in Maryland dur.
ing 1857 is expected to be about
the same as this year. In 1855,
Maryland farm income reached a
new low of $40 million dollars.
This was 43 percent below 1854
and 60 percent below 1949.
