Harvest season boosts crop quantity despite lower yields
The Department notes a prolonged fall season allowed maturing and harvesting, improving both quantity and quality of many crops. Total output is about one third of 1948 and 1949, not a fourth as forecast last month, lagging behind 1946, 1948 and 1948. Carryover supplies plus this year's harvest should meet civilian, military and export needs with some surplus.
