Foreign Demand for Farm Products Rising
Foreign demand for American farm products is rising after a slump in 1952-53. Exports in November were up 3 percent from the prior November and at the high level seen in December 1952. Cotton remains the top export, with November shipments valued at 44 million dollars, up from October but down 34 percent from November 1952. Tobacco, cheese, milk products, beef, and other items posted gains, while wheat fell from 43 million to 35 million dollars. The Agriculture Department dispatched tobacco specialists abroad to expand markets and notes renewed promotion and improved foreign currency positions aid the rebound.

He notes prices are at a 20 year low and warns against rapid action while Congress debates new uses for tariff funds.
