Acreage allotments for corn are declared when supplies appear high. Yet farm economists warn the carry-over may not be large enough to prevent a shortage if production falls. In 1953 U.S. corn output topped 3.0 billion bushels with a 764 million bushel carry-over, totaling about 3.9 billion. The Agriculture Department expects next October’s surplus around 575 million bushels above normal, a figure tied to years from 1948–1953 and amounting to under 3 percent of that era’s production. A bad year, as in 1936, could exhaust stocks, while even 1947 would leave carry-over below normal.
