E L Van Meter of the County Extension Director notes at the National Farm Marketing Conference that U S agriculture is in a strong economic position with favorable farm prices and assets. He says livestock feed distortions have diminished and exports may grow 3 to 4 percent annually, though rate gains may slow from historic peaks.

It allows an order for a beef board to levy assessments on cattle sales to fund research and information activities, with a referendum of eligible producers before approval.
The text explains how a farm is defined for statistical purposes. It distinguishes small plots under 10 acres by a $250 sales threshold and larger plots by a $50 sales threshold, based on annual agricultural sales and control by an individual management.
