Here’s why: Surpluses are be ing brought within manageable limits. Our expanding popula tion and increased overseas food programs are creating a demand for more farm prod ucts. Government programs will insure closer to parity price to farmers than we’ve had in re cent years. In short, there will be opportunity to produce at more favorable market prices than we’ve had lately. Livestock and poultry are the bright spots. Beef cattle prices picked up in 1965 and will re main favorable during the new year. 1965’s excellent hog prices should continue for at least the first six to eight months of 1966. Better than av erage prices should continue for poultry, including Eggs and Turkeys. Soybeans will again be an excellent crop prospect for 1966. Dairying should remain about the same and could' im prove if stability can be restor ed to our State’s milk markets. The handwriting on the wall is clear. For those farmers who follow sound business and man agement practices, the new year’s outlook is good. It defi nitely can be for those who will work to make it so. A Happy New Year t All!
