Crop Production Nears Record Despite Poor Harvests
The government said 1952 crop production was the third largest on record for crops and livestock, with total output setting a new high. The corn crop reached 2.941 billion bushels, below average and short of the 3.375 billion goal, though large reserves prevent steep livestock cuts now. A bigger corn crop next year is needed to avoid livestock liquidation in 1953.
