Jones Eyes Food Goals for 1945 Production
War Food Administrator Marvin Jones faces a delicate task as he sets 1945 farm production goals balancing military needs lend-lease and reconquered countries against a near record U S crop. The September report shows 1944 output only two percent below 1942 record and favorable weather could push to a record year. Byrnes says Allied areas exceed normal production about a third with reserves ready when peace comes and 1945 needs may drop. No official 1945 target yet but a cut is possible amid ongoing war in the Pacific and Japan. The size of the grain crop will influence live stock and poultry feed and meat demands for military and civilian use.
