The 1928 New England agricultural outlook reports favorable dairy and poultry prices with high stock costs limiting farm expansion. Large apple crops are forecast due to alternate bearing, while potato acreage may rise and onion prices stay low. Quality packing and pruning are urged for apples and vegetables to maintain market position. Connecticut Valley tobacco shows improved outlook but cigar types using its tobacco remain weak.
