Economic Outlook for Agriculture in 1967
Texas A&M University economist John G McHaney predicts a stronger 1967 farm outlook with higher cash receipts and expanded grain acreage. Wheat allotments rise about one third while grain acreage could grow 12 to 15 million acres, boosting production for expanding markets and stock rebuilding. Net farm income may stay below 1966 but remain well above 1965, assets rise by about 18 billion, and foreigners' share of farm product sales grows toward six billion dollars in the year ahead. Uncertainties include Vietnam developments, the new grain program, and foreign crop prospects impacting export markets.
