Acreage for har vest is estimated at 1,913,000 acres, which is 4.0 percent be low last year. The smaller corn acreage is due in part to a switch from corn to soybeans. In addition, some farm land has been leased to the government through the Conservation Re serve program and has had gome effect in reducing .the acreage of corn for harvest in I960.
