AG REPORT 1974 farm outlook and costs expected
The report projects 1974 farm prices higher than 1973 in early months for crops and livestock, with corn, wheat, cotton and hogs leading gains. Summer prices may soften, while the year averages near 1973 levels. Farmers may net 3-4 billion less due to higher costs, though cash livestock receipts rise and grain output remains strong. Costs rise sharply across fuels, fertilizers, pesticides, and farmland. Fuel and fertilizer shortages threaten yields, foreshadowing a tough year despite solid farm income relative to 1967-71.
