Christmas and Drought of 1967 Farm Outlook
A year end look at agriculture shows record global production yet weak farm prices. U S farms produced over 4.7 billion bushels of corn and 970 million of soybeans, with Illinois and Iowa setting corn records while Iowa’s yield fell slightly. Prices dropped while costs rose, and farm labor shortages persist. International notes include India’s best crop yet, Thailand’s surplus, and China’s internal upheaval affecting crops and exports. Vietnam remains uncertain due to war, tempering yields.
