A Bumper Harvest Is In Prospect
The Agriculture Department forecast points to a large harvest in 1958 with 952 million acres planned for commercial crops on March 1, about three million acres less than last year. The Eisenhower administration backs soil bank reductions to 35 million dollars in government-held surpluses, a move aimed at lifting prices. If enacted, the plan would pay farmers to reduce planting of crops, offset by favorable weather that could still approach last year’s near record output. Corn cuts were smaller than desired, and oats, barley, rice, potatoes, tobacco, and other crops show varied shifts. Overall, spring wheat and soybeans rise, while meat prices face pressure from increased feed grain production in the Midwest.
