Little Change Foreseen in 1963 Farm Outlook
The Agriculture Department says 1963 should bring little overall change in the farm situation with farmers likely to see about the same net income as 1962, the $12.8 billion estimate. Gross returns may rise slightly, while the general outlook remains steady. The report notes efforts abroad to study new industrial uses for flaxseed and safflower seed oils, funded by a $5,000 grant to an Indian regional research lab in Hyderabad, financed from surplus farm product proceeds.
