Agricultural acreage and crop yield projections for 1978
A 1978 USDA report forecasts crop outputs and planted areas across major commodities. Soybeans and wheat may exceed demand with rising stocks if weather remains favorable, while corn, oats, barley and sorghum acreage rise modestly. Cotton and tobacco areas show declines, hay acreage edges up, and overall livestock feeds demand balances supply amid variable moisture.
