Commercial Feed Output Hits Record in 1962
The American Feed Manufacturers Assn reports U.S. feed production reached 44 million tons in 1962, up 4 percent from 1961. Beef and sheep feeds rose 19 percent, hog feeds 11 percent, and dairy feeds 5 percent, while turkey feeds fell 11 percent and poultry feeds share declined from 56 to 49 percent over a decade. Oakley M. Ray cites egg-type feed decline linked to lower egg consumption, with per capita egg intake dropping from 392 in 1951 to about 317 in 1962.

Ames Conference Examines Farm Supply Management and Family Income
Dr Willard Cochrane of USDA urged that action is needed to enhance farm family positions and income while denying any forceful mandatory control. He stressed that support from two thirds of farmers is essential for any supply management program. Clergymen discussed the social importance of farming and family farms, with economists proposing ideas like taxing those who remain on farms to assist broader adjustment.
