Huge Boost in Total Supply of Corn Promised for 1939-40
The Agriculture Department estimates total corn supply for 1939-40 at 3.152 billion bushels with 2.591 billion bushels indicated for Nov. 1 production. This compares to 2.905 billion last year and a 1928-32 average of 2.718. Sealed-for-loans amount to 257 million, leaving 2.648 billion unsealed. Projections suggest 1939 sealed corn may exceed 1938, potentially leaving total unsealed and sealed corn near last year’s unaided total. The report also notes feed-grain supplies at 110 million tons, a 2 million-ton rise from Oct. 1, due to October corn gains. Livestock numbers are expected to rise about 7 percent this year, with stocks and feeding patterns implying tighter livestock-feed per unit if yields aren’t unusually high.
