Farm Downtrend
Consumers probably will con
tinue spending heavily’ for food
and fiber in the second half of
1955, but this does not seem like
ly to offset the price of depressing
effects of lower supports for
grains and larger supplies of
meats and some other Oregon
farm products, according to t^
July issue of “Agricultural situa
tion and Outlook,,” Issued through
Oregon State college.
Farm prices are likely to be
under last summer and fall for
grains, dairy products, meat ani
mals and wool, potatoes, most
fruit and vegetable and some
seeds.
Prices are likely to be the same
or higher most of the time for
eggs, turkeys, hay, cover crop
and tuff seeds, peppermint oil,
strawberries, peaches and prunes.
During the first half of the
year, Oregon farm prices averag
ed 2 per cent below last year.
Nationally, they were down five
per cent for the same period. Off
the most from last year in Ore-
gno were hogs, oatj turkeys and
milk. Higher were potatoes, hay
and wheat.
Oregon’s income from the sale
of farm products during the first
four months was about the same
as last year. Livestock products
were seven per cent lower. Crops
were nine per cent higher. Na-
tionally, cash farm receipts were
off about three per cent from
the same months last year.
Farm costs, on the other hand,
showed little change. Lower pric
es and fairly steady costs put the
buying power of farm products
at further disadvantage. The par
ity ratio, the relationship be
tween prices received and prices
paid by farmers, stood at 87 at
mid-May. That is three points
lower than a year earlier and
13 points below level set by
Congress as a fair exchange rate
for farm products.
Little change is in sight for
the remainder of the year. Live
stock production may average
about the same, with larger sup
plies of some items offset by
smaller supplies of others.
The season is still too young
to predict the crop outturn with
certainty. But, if weather is aver
age. total crop production is not
likely to be much different than
last year.
It all adds up to the proba
bility that large agricultural «rup-
pliea will continue to ke«*p farm
prices from going up With low
er prices and not much change in
marketing, receipts from the sale
of farm products may average
lower Farm production coats may
be down a little, but not as much
as gross income. This would mean
less money going into farmers’
pockets this year.
