S&'CTION TWO-
Farm Prices Remain
Steady But Costs For
Production May Drop
Hopeful Note Sounded
At Agricultural Out
look Conference
A hopeful note was sounded at the
recent Agricultural Outlook Confer
ence to the effect that there may be
some further drops in farm produc
tion costs next year, in addition. to
slight reductions this year, according
to County Agent C. W. Overman.
Prices received for farm products, on
the other hand, are not likely to fall
much below their present levels, ex
cept for normal seasonal variations.
The fall in prices of farm products
and farm incomes this year has been
due largely to two factors, says Mr.
Overman. These are bounteous har
vests and a sharp curtailment in for
eign demand for United States farm
products.
Total crop output next year may be
reduced somewhat by acreage restric
tions for wheat, com, and cotton,
though supplies are again likely to
be larger if weather is favorable. An
improved foreign gold and dollar sit
uation may strengthen export demand
if official policies on the use of the
gold and dollar reserves permit. Do
mestic demand, which has been at a
high level throughout 1953. is ex
pected to continue strong in 1954.
Price supports will cushion the effects
of large carryover supplies. Taken
together, these factors spell a prob
able stabilization of farm prices near
their present levels, according to Mr.
Overman.
The general level of prices paid by
farmers ran about 3 per cent below
the 1962 level in the first 9 months
of this year, Mr. Overman explains.
. Most of the decline was due to lower
prices for feed and feeder livestock,
and prices of these major items are
not expected to change much from
present reduced levels. Prices of in
dustrial products will probably change
very little, but price concessions are
likely to be more general than in 1953
for those commodities produced pri- 1
marily for the farm market. 1
