By AL BUSBY
County Agent
1966 could be e best year
for farmers in o a decade.
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!
