Behind The Farm Market Scene

(Editor’s note: Here follows a review of the 1969 farm scene, including commodity markets, as viewed by Dr. J. William Uhrig, Purdue university agricultural economist.) LAFAYETTE — Boosted by favorable livestock prices, farm income in 1969 rose substantially over 1968 levels. /These higher livestock prices raised net farm income by about $1.2 billion. Substantial gains in consumers’ after-tax incomes brought a strong demand for livestock products. As a result, prices received by farmers for livestock and livestock products averaged 11 per cent higher than in 1968. By contrast, a record crop harvest and bigger carryover supplies of grains and soybeans weakened prices. However, the larger volume offset the lower prices and resulted in about the same cash receipts. Final figures, available early, in 1970, are expected to slightly more than a $3 billion iricrease over the $44.4 billion cash receipts in 1968. An additional increase in direct government payments is expected to push gross farm income to $54.5 billion, compared to ssl 1 billion in 1968. Continuing inflationary pressures raised prices paid by farmers for non-farm items used in productiop more than usual. Moreover, higher prices of farm products have contributed to increased costs 3 to farmers because roughly one-third of all farm production expenses—feeder livestock, feed and seed—originate on farms. Despite higher costs, the volume of purchased inputs has also been increasing for major production items Farm production expense rose about $2.25 billion over the--1968 total of $36 3 billion. As a result, net farm income for 1969 totaled around sl6 billion,

compared to $14.8 billion in 1968. Highest Since 1951 During the past year, fed cattle prices at Chicago averaged the highest of any year since 1952. Preliminary estimates indicate an average of about $30.50 for choice steers, up about $2.75 from 1968. Chicago choice steer prices rose from an average of $29.23 in January to $34.22 in June. For the last half of the year, prices trended downward to around $29, as slaughter increased above spring lows. Commercial cattle slaughter for 19® was about 35.3 million head, up less than one per cent from 1968. Fed cattle marketings accounted for over 70 per cent of commercial slaughter. On this basis, fed cattle marketings for the past year totaled about 25 million head, over six per cent largo- than 1968. Cow slaughter during 1969 was about three per cent larger than last year and beef imports up 12 per cent. Even so, cow prices have been about $2 higher because of strong consumer demand for beef. Cows account for about 20 per cent of the commercial slaughter. Ndn-fed steer and heifer slaughter, at about 2** million head, declined about 4 million head during the past year. This, plus lighter slaughter weights for the first nine months of the year, is the reason the large increases reported for cattle on feed did not show up in commercial slaughter and beef production figures. Feeder Cattle Prices $345 Higher Than Year Earlier Prices of feeder cattle followed the trend of fed cattle prices during 1969 Yearling steer prices rose from about $26 at the start of the year to $33 during the early summer. At the end of the year, prices had declined to the $29 level, remaining $3 to $5 higher than year earlier prices. The highest prices and largest differences were on lightest weight animals. Prices of feeder cattle held well above 1968 because pasture conditions were generally good and demand for feeder cattle has been strong due to higher fed cjttle prices and expanding feedlot capacity. Highest Since 1948 Commercial hog slaughter during 1969 was practically the same as the 85.2 million head slaughtered in 1968. This was a change from the upward trend of the past three years. Unusually severe weather in the Midwest during the winter months, along with disease and breeding problems resulted in smaller spring and fall pig crops. The increase in population in 1969 will pull pork consumption per person one to two pounds below the 66 pounds consumed in 1968. Unusually strong consumer demand for meat also pushed hog prices to near record highs this year. Hog prices have risen more than corn prices. As a result, the

hog-corn ratio was boosted above any other year on record. Hog prices for 1969 were the highest since 1948. At Chicago, average monthly prices for barrows and gilts increased steadily from the S2O level in January to above $27 in August. Prices declined about $1 into The fall, as contrasted to a usual s4jo $6 per hundredweight decline from summer highs. Prices strengthened again at the end of the year remaining about $8 per hundredweight above December, 1968, levels. Highest Since 1951 Sheep and lamb numbers continued to decline during 1969 for the tenth consecutive year, but the reduction was smaller than last year. Slaughter lamb prices during 1969 were at their highest level since 1951. A six per cent reduction in the lamb crop and increased number of ewe lambs held back for replacements led to a 10-12 per cent reduction in slaughter. Choice and prime slaughter lambs at Chicago sold around $26 in January, 1969, then rose to a peak of $33 in late April. During the last half of the year, slaughter lamb prices declined to the $29 level. Average prices for 1969 were over $3 per hundredweight above last year. Consumption Down Red meat consumption during 1969 was down one to two pounds per person from the 183 pounds consumed in 1968. Beef consumption was up about one pound per person, but consumption of all other red meats was smaller. With a small reduction in consumption and a strong increase in consumer demand for meat, retail meat prices rose well above 1968 levels. The index of retail meat prices (compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) averaged about 10 per cent higher than the 1968 index and was the highest annual average on record Feed Grains The 1969 feed grain carryover was slightly larger than in 1968 with all of the increase in Government stocks. The “free” supply (not in Government storage or under loan or price support) was slightly smaller at the start of the new crop year. The smaller “free” supply was offset by the increase in production of the 1969 crop As a result, the “free” supply of 187 million tons for 1969-70 was the same as a year earlier, but nearly 8 million below the record “free” supply of two years ago. Crops planted for harvest in 1969 totaled 300 million acres—tw o per cent, or 6.8 million acres, fewer than last year, and the least since 1966. Acreage planted to food grains declined 12 per cent, and to feed grains one per cent, but acreage planted to oilseeds increased four per cent. Corn planted for all purposes totaled 63.7 million acres—two per cent less than last year and 10 per cent below 1967, and the

smallest since 1881. Continued active participation in the Government Feed Grain * Program contributed to the decline in planted acres. Corn acreage in Indiana declined about 100,000 acres from 1968 levels. A new record yield of 96 bushels per acre (state average) as compared with 85 bushels per acre last year, boosted production to 461 million bushels—up 11 per cent from last year’s 416 million bushels. The total 1969 corn crop was 4.4 billion bushels, up two per cent from 1968. but down seven per cent from the record 1967 crop. The increased usage is expected (for the year ahead) to be slightly larger than the 1969 production. As the result of a favorable demand situation, including increased exports in the fall, and some weather delays during harvest, No. 2 corn prices remained around the $1 level at harvest, about 10-15 cents per bushel higher than last fall’s depressed level. At the end of the year, prices had increased five to 10 cents per bushel. The average price received for the 1969 crop is expected to be higher than 1968 because of the higher prices received at harvest time. Wheat acreage harvested in 1969 declined to 47.5 million acres from 55.3 million in 1968. The record yield of 30.6 bushels per acre did not offset the large acreage reduction. As a result the 1969 crop was 1457 million bushels as compared to 1570 million last year—down seven per cent. Wheat supplies increased for the third year in a row due to increased carryover supplies. A sharp decline in exports during 1968-69 caused by a prolonged" dock strike as well as large and increasing world supplies, was only partly offset by increased feeding of wheat in the U.S. Heavy use of the Government loan provision caused prices to strengthen after harvest. For the year. Indiana farm prices are expected to average around five cents below the loan level of $1.25 per bushel. Soybeans Soybean acreage increased two per cent in 1969 to 42.4 million acres. This established another new record. Most of the increase occurred in Southern states. Indiana increased soybean acreage 61.000 acres to 3.1 million acres Soybean production during 1969 was 1094 million bushels—l 4 million bushels above the previous record set last year. The larger acreage was partly offset by a decline of 0.3 bushels per acre. Record yields were established in Indiana and seven other states. Indiana's yield of 32 bushels per acre produced a crop of over 99 million bushels, up three per cent from last year’s 95.8 million bushels. Carryover supplies of soybeans reached record levels of over 320 million bushels during the fall of 1969. As a result of increasing stocks, the Government price support was lowered from $2.50 nationally to $2,25 per bushel. In addition, the grade basis for price support was changed from No. 2 to No. 1. This resulted in approximately five cents additional lower price. However, an unusually strong demand for oil and an increasing demand for soybean meal led to an increased demand for

soybeans. As a result, both domestic usage (primarily for crushing) and exports will both set new records during the year ahead. Usage is expected to go above one billion bushels for the first time. Additions to the carryover supplies will be small. With the strong demand, prices in early winter were only down about 10 cents per bushel from 1968 levels as compared with the 30-cent per bushel decline in the price support level. Soybean crushing margins were at record levels during the fall of 1969 as a result of lower priced soybeans and improved product prices fool and meal. Farm Land Values Indiana farm land values continued to decline during 1969. There was some evidence of softening in land prices during the summer and fall of 1968. Prices declined about five per cent from March, 1968, to March, 1969, and about three per cent for the last nine months of the year. The decline in farm real estate prices was more predominant in the cash grain area in northwestern and west central Indiana than in any other area. The number of farms offered for sale remains small. The number one factor affecting the decline in farm real estate prices was the tight money market. Second was the declining interest on the part of the nonfarm absentee owner, or investor. The third most important factor was the high interest rates on current farm loans. The shortage of money was apparently a larger factor than the high interest rate. Close to two-thirds of all fariqs sold during the past year were sold on contract. These sales usually substituted a lower interest rate for a higher selling price. Another factor affecting land values is property taxes. During the past decade, farm property taxes in Indiana have doubled. This is in contrast to the rest of the Corn Belt where taxes have increased only 54 to 62 per cent. Major factors whicn contributed to the almost continuous rise in land values over the past 30 years are still with us. These included farm policy, inflation, technological changes resulting in farm enlargement and nonfarm demands for land. * The long-term outlook is for farm land values to move irregularly upward. In the intermediate term (2-7 years), agricultural policy, as it affects farm income and income expectations, will be the most important variable in determining farm land values. Land that has value of non-farm purposes is expected to continue to increase rather sharply in future years. SOCIAL SECURITY Q — My son is 23 years old and lives here at home. He was seriously injured in an automobile accident. He only worked one year after finishing high school and before going into service. Is there any kind of benefit he can receive? A — If his condition prevents him from working and is expected to last a year he may qualify for disability benefits. Have him get in touch with the social security office right away.

Smokey Rescued From Icy Waters Smokey, the big smoke colored dog that accompanied Henry (Hank) Doty on his many trip 6 to Milford, was saved from certain death recently after he fell into Turkey Creek near the bridge south of town. Max Duncan and Milford police officer Charles Clawson were credited with saving the dog. According to Duncan he was driving past when he saw the dog floridering in the water. He stopped and used his fireman’s boots to wade out as far as he could, then he used a plank which he found in the area, to go the rest of the way out to the dog. After pulling the dog from the icy waters, Duncan and Clawson took him to the veterinarians’ office. They had called Mrs. Bill Leemon, an employee of the clinic, who opened the offices and helped dry the dog out. Smokey was so cold when rescued that he couldn’t walk. He is now back with his owner and not likely to go near the icy creek for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Estep of r 2 Milford visited Mrs. Sherman Collins in the Elkhart hospital.
