1970 Outlook For Indiana Agriculture

LAFAYETTE - Net purchasing power of Indiana farmers during the next 12 months likely will drop about five per cent below that of the past year, Purdue university agricultural economists said tonight; However, it is expected to remain well above the average of recent years. The economists said that net income of Indiana farmers probably would be down somewhat for the year beginning Oct. 1, compared to that of the last 12 months. ". . .It should be recognized that livestock prices have been particularly favorable and livestock farmers have enjoyed record or near record incomes during the past year,” they noted. Net earnings of Indiana farmers in the year ahead “are expected to be below only the relatively favorable years of 1965 and 1969,” the economists asserted. “Declining farm numbers mean that income per farm will be down less than the decline for total Indiana agriculture . . . In terms of purchasing power, incomes of all consumers will continue to be eroded by inflation in the year ahead.” This forecast, with a look at the general economic situation throughout the United States, was made at 13 Outlook meetings throughout Indiana. They were the first of 34 multi-county public meetings which will be concluded Thursday night, Oct. 2. Os the general economy, the economists noted that its ad- 1 vance would continue “in the year ahead, but slightly less rapidly than in the year just past.” “Inflation will likely average around five per cent or more for the year ahead with most of the increase in late 1969 and early 1970. Real growth, recently increasing at about two per cent annual rate, is expected tq subside somewhat further in the year ahead. "For the next few months, high levels of consumer, business and government spending will sustain economic expansion in spite of high interest rates and reduced credit. However, by next spring or summer the various monetary and fiscal restraints are expected to slow down expansion and reduce the rate of inflation.” Farmers will be affected, the economists pointed out, in the following ways:* “. . .Rising consumer income per person, along with the growing population, will insure a strong and growing demand for farm products. However, increase in demand will be less than the very sharp rise which occurred during the past year, particularly for red meats. “The composite cost for farm production will edge higher. Such items as interest rates and fertilizer may average about the same; whereas real estate taxes farm wage rates and feeder cattle purchased this fall are expected to be substantially higher. Slight to modest increases in costs are expected for most other production items. “As the economy slows, there will be a modest increase in unemployment from the current very low levels . . . Off farm job opportunities will likely be plentiful. Hired farm labor will continue scarce and farm wage rates will continue their upward trend. . . “Interest rates will remain high and credit will continue tight. . .” Here are details of the Indiana outlook for the period from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, 1970: CORN Harvest time prices of No. 2 corn will likely average near the 95-cent-a-bushel level. By next summer prices are expected to average $1.15-$1.20 a bushel in surplus areas and about 15 cents higher in deficit areas. With three cents discount for each per cent moisture over 15.5 p?r cent, drying will likely pay good returns in 1969. Storage is also expected to be profitable, especially in deficit areas. SOYBEANS Prices will likely avsrage 10 to 20 cents below the $2.25 national support rate (No. 1 beans* at harvest and rise seasonally to slightly above the loan rate. Thus, the return,to storage operations is expected to be only modest . . . With the decline in

soybean prices, soybean meal is expected to decline in price in relation to feed grains. WHEAT For the next several months, prices are expected to fluctuate near the national loan rate of $1.25 a bushel. Returns from continued storage are expected to be only small to modest. Despite 12 per cent cuts in wheat acreage allotments, no substantial increase is anticipated in wheat prices for the crop to be harvested in 1970. HOGS Prices of all barrows and gilts at Indianapolis are expected to fluctuate between s2l-$26 for much of the year, with the highest level probably occurring during the last three months of 1969 and the second quarter of 1970. (Fourth quarter 1968 prices of barrows and gilts at Indianapolis averaged $18.98 per hundredweight.) During the first three months of 1970, prices are expected to range from $22-$25: for the second quarter prices are likely to fluctuate from $23-$26, and third quarter prices are likely to range from s2l-$24. Swine raisers should evaluate the pig crop reports in the months ahead before making plans for hogs to be marketed after late 1970. BEEF COW HERDS Stock cattle (calves and yearlings) prices are expected to weaken into autumn and early winter, but average higher than last fall and early winter levels. Prospective returns from beef cow herds appear favorable for the next several years. CATTLE FEEDING Fed cattle prices (choice steers at Chicago) will likely remain in the $29-s3l range during the remainder of 1969. Prices will continue near this range during the first half of 1970. Beef supplies will be three to five per cent above year ago levels for the next several months, assuming marketings from feed lots continue when cattle are ready for slaughter. LAMBS Lamb slaughter during the coming year is expected to be down six to eight per cent. With increased supplies and lower prices of beef and pork, lambs will likely average only sl-$2 above this past year’s levels. This will result in lambs (choice slaughter lambs at Omaha) selling in the S2B-S3O range. DAIRY In the year ahead we will likely see a slight decrease in milk production, and slightly higher milk prices. However, cost of inputs used* in dairying will also increase, leaving profits at near the past year’s favorable returns. BROILERS Prices (ice - packed wholesale) are exp?cted to average 25.5-26.5 cents a pound, two to three cents below prices of the last 12 months. EGGS During the 12 months beginning Oct. 1, Chicago Grade A Large eggs are expected to average five to seven cents a dozen below the favorable prices of the previous year. Profits should b? higher than average during the first half of the year, but increased layer numbers will probably result in below average profits for the last half of the year. TURKEYS Prices received by growers this fall are expected to average about two cents a pound more than those of last autumn. An expansion of up to six per cent in the 1970 turkey crop is expected and would likely result in prices near 1969 levels as a result of reduced cold storage stocks and increased demand. PRODUCTION ITEMS Farm production prices are likely to increase three to five per cent in the year ahead. Most of this increase is likely to result from higher taxes, wage rages, purchased livestock, supplies and machinery costs. Only small changes are expectAll Ladies are invited to the Belvedere Shop IN WARSAW where the largest selection of new winter hats at far lower prices than in the surrounding larger cities are being shown.

ed in interest rates and the price of feed, seed and fertilizer. Feeder pig prices are expected to be higher next year. Average Indiana taxes on farm real estate likely will rise slightly more than the 10 per cent average increase during the year just ended. OPERATING EXPENSES Indiana commercial farmers generally will continue to expand the size of their farm units and/or their volume of farm business in 1970. Quantities of some purchased items will increase as volume is increased. Therefore, average farm operating expenses during the year ahead will be larger than for the past year. * FARM REAL ESTATE Land prices are expected to drop about five per cent in the next 12 months. Lower quality land prices likely will decline more than prices of highly productive land to which mechanization and technology can be applied. Land in fringe areas around major urban centers probably will continue upward in price. . .Over the longer run (five years), odds favor annual return to farm real estate investments from operation averaging three to five per cent. Total returns, when considering inflation in value, will be significantly higher. It seems reasonable to expect a continuation of the long-time upward trend in land prices. A. BAUMGARTNERS TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Baumgartner of Milford will entertain at a brunch Saturday for their sons and wives, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Baumgartner and Mr. and Mrs. Steven Baumgartner, Milford, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sorg and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Sorg of Goshen; and for Mr. Baumgartner’s sisters and brothers and wives, Mrs. Helen Funk and Miss Edith Baumgartner, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Baumgartner, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Baumgartner, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Baumgartner, Milford; and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C.
