Prospects for 1954 Stable Growth In Agriculture
Economic activity is expected to remain firm in 1954 with continued strong consumer purchases and exports recovering later in 1953. Wheat and other farm commodities should perform well, while farm labor demand remains balanced. Supplies of machinery fertilizer and nitrogen materials stay ample with ammonium nitrate as the only tight item. World wheat production in 1955-54 is forecast lower, Canadian wheat harvests and feed stocks stay high, and meat production rises with total meat supplies about four percent above 1952-53. Milk output may reach near 18 billion pounds in 1954 with favorable butterfat to beef price relationships supporting dairying.
