Food Production May Be Speeded
Washington June 29 Agriculture's postwar adjustment to a lower level of production may be slowed or halted by the international situation. No current changes in federal farm programs are planned. Bran nan and aides monitor foreign developments and could rapidly alter programs to encourage more output, with speedups possible next year for most crops and quicker gains in poultry and hogs. The nation's food position is strong with large reserves and improved production capacity due to tech and mechanization enabling prewar output levels to be doubled if inputs hold.
