If planted and yields follow recent trends, U S production may approach 421 million bushels, with prices near 62 46 to 133 4 cents per bushel. Growers across states plan larger plantings in 1930, especially those with small acreages, while some large commercial farms cut back. Northern states expect substantial increases, and total 1930 yield is forecast at about 11 bushels per acre given normal conditions.
