Agricultural Outlook for1961 Given by EconomistOur farmers produced more

food for each person in theUnited States this year thanever before. And it was donewith 30 per cent fewer farmworkers and 5 per cent feweracres than used 12 years ago.These were observations

coming from the AgriculturalOutlook Conference held inWashington D.C. last week, re-ports John Brower, Extensioneconomist at Montana StateCollege.

Slightly more food is ex-pected from the nation's farmsin 1961 than in recent years,Bower continues. Montanafarmers and ranchers can ex-pect larger national market-ings of beef, pork and milk in1961, meaning lower prices forthese products.The conference pointed out

at an all-time high with acarry-over at the beginning ofthe year equal to the U.S.needs for about seven months.Most of this is in the form ofcorn and sorghums but oatsand barley help swell thestocks on hand.

National dairy production isincreasing faster than the U.S.population. Prices of dairyproducts after April 1 will de-pend on support levels to be
