Ample Vegetable Crop Is Expected
The Agriculture Department forecasts total vegetable production for the year to be about the same as last year’s ample crops. Six leading fresh market truck crops show above last year’s output for dry onions watermelons lettuce and cabbage, with cantaloupes above average and tomatoes below average. Prices to farmers are expected higher than last summer for tomatoes but lower for dry onions watermelons and cabbage. Canned vegetable supplies for 1950 should match last year, while storage stocks of frozen vegetables were higher overall except for frozen green peas. Production for canning and freezing may be slightly lower than last year if early acreage holds.
