Agriculture economists foresee larger farm marketings in 1967
Texas A M University economist John G Mellaney says the 1967 agricultural outlook shows higher demand and bigger cash receipts from farm marketings. Feed grain acreage may rise to 12 to 15 million acres, wheat allotments up by about one third, to rebalance production with expanding markets and rebuild grain carryover stocks. Government payments to producers may fall by about a half billion as more land returns to production.
