1962 Farm Outlook Holds To Line of Earlier Forecast
Washington - fliPli - The A,;-1
riculture Department says the
farm outlook for 1 962 is
about the same as last fall's
forecast.
The outlook for farm in
come in 19ti2 - published last
week - indicated farmers
realized net income this year
will be around $12.7 billion,
the same as last year and
about $1 billion more than
in I960. Cash receipts from
farm marketings probably
will be larger, but higher pro
duction expenses probably
will hold net income to the
1B1 level.
Here is the 1962 situation
by commodities, as seen by
department economists writ
ing in the Agricultural Out
look Digest:
Red meat production is ex
pected to match the increase
in population. Consumption
per person will total about
161 pounds, the same as in
1961.
At the farm level, cattle
prices may average slightly
higher than in 1961, reflecting
a stronger demand and only a
small gain in marketings. Fed
cattle prices into early sum
mer will average above year
ago levels.
Hog prices are expected to
avcreage a little below last
year because of increased
marketings.
Gains are in view for sheep
and lamb prices this year be
cause of a prospective sizable
cutback in slaughter,
Prices received by farmers
for all milk at wholesale will
be lower this year than in
1961, but not by the full drop
in the support prices for man
ufacturing milk and butterfat.
Milk production is expected
to exceed last year's record
125.5 billion pounds, by pos
sibly 2 billion pounds.
Egg Prices Down
Spring egg prices are ex
pected to be below 1961 levels
due mainly to larger output.
But some reduction in re
placement hatch will strength
en seasonably rising prices
next fall. Average prices this

year may be somewhat under
the 35.3 cents per dozen re
ceived by farmers in 1961.
Broiler outlook indicates
some improvement from last
year's record price low.
The turkey situation points
to sharp price improvement
this fall from last year's ex
tremely depressed prices.
Large storage stocks are being
worked down rapidly and
hatching activity indicates
substantial reduction in the
1962 crop.
Feed grain production in
1962-63 may be around trw
1961-62 total.
Smaller Wheat Crop
I The total 1962 wheat crop,
as of April 1, is indicated at
around 120 million bushels
less than last year's crop and
the smallest since 1957. The
final size will be influenced
by producers' participation in
the 1962 wheat program.
Soybean prices to farmers
for the remainder of the 1961
62 marketing year are expect
ed tn average slightly above
the 1961 support rate of $2.30
per bushel sharply below
prices a year earlier. Prices
in the fall for 1962-crop beans
! likely will be close to the
per bushel.
Improved potato prices are
likely by late spring.
