Agriculture Department foresees record crops but tighter feed supplies
USDA data show corn and other feed crops still at record size overall for 1973, yet corn and sorghum output slips from last month’s forecast. Soybeans rise to a record 1.57 billion bushels, while cotton improves slightly but remains below 1972. Net farm income is projected at a record $25 billion for 1973, with 1974 profits expected to remain strong, though uncertain.
