Predict Decline In Farm Exports
Washington reports the Bureau of Agricultural Economics predicts U S agricultural exports will fall 15 to 20 percent from 1947’s record 3.9 billion as foreign demand weakens with postwar recovery. Domestic demand stays high but net farmer income could dip 5 to 10 percent despite higher costs. Cotton exports may rise while grains and grain products face the sharpest drop.
