Farmers realize higher gains through farm programs

Producers realized better prices for their crops and livestock in 1978 than in 1977 according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Through farm programs and agricultural exports, farm prices were almost 23 per cent higher than in the fall of 1977 and net farm income was up nearly 30 per cent. After four years of losses, cattle prices increased about 52 per cent, and hog prices, 28 per cent. Net farm income reached $26 billion in 1978. When this is added to expected off-farm income of $36 billion, farmer's income from all sources wil| total between s6l and $62 billion for 1978. Further brightening last year's agriculture picture were farm exports, estimated at $29 billion, and well above 1977’s $23.7 billion.

Wed.. January 31.1979— THE MAIL-JOURNAL

The agriculture department said farmers took steps to assure themselves of higher market prices for their grain crops. They participated in the 1978 feed grain and wheat set-aside programs, placed large amounts of grain under loan, and entered a substantial amount of grain into the reserve. Though these programs, the national wheat acreage was cut by 10 million acres and feed grain acres by 8.4 million acres. Over 411 million bushels of wheat and 768 million bushels of corn and other feed grains were put in the reserve, and farm storage loans were made to build 754 million bushels of new on-farm storage space.

Farmers produced record feed grain crops, but market prices went up at harvest time. Nearly 1.8 billion bushels of wheat were produced, but wheat prices went

up because farmers held their grain under loan and did not glut the market Farmers have the opportunity again in 1979 to strengthen farm prices and income by fully participating in the voluntary farm programs.
