Agricultural outlook warns farmers on 1927 crop plans
The 1927 agricultural outlook from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics says fertilizer prices are down and farm labor may be more available near industrial centers at lower wages. Corn demand in 1927 likely won’t rise, risking lower prices without reduced acreage. It advises restraint on potato overplanting and cautions on sweet potatoes, cabbage, strawberries, cantaloupes, watermelons, and new grape vineyards with plans for expansion.
