Expanding Farm Production Could Be
xpc
'Iffy' Situation, USDA Study Shows
Can American agriculture
continue expanding its pro-
duction to keep up with the
nation's increasing needs for
food and fiber in the future?
A special study recently
completed by the USDA's
Economic Research Service
reveals the potential is there.
But the study shys away from
predicting whether that po-
tential will be realized.
Pointing out that a vast in-
crease in major agricultural
production is possible, the
study predicates its findings
on four conditions: (1) that
future prices of farm prod-
ucts will be favorable for
increased production; (2)
that no restrictions are put
on land use; (3) that supplies
of inputs will be adequate

crops. , ,
Better management is also
part of the technology. The
study points out that today's
leading farmers are routinely
getting yields at least 50 per-
cent higher than the national
average as a result of their
management skills.
The top 10 percent of cot-
ton farmers, for example.

averaged 143.4 bushels Com-
pared to 82.2 for others.
While all producers cannot
reach those levels, the study
noted, there are still tremen-
dous possibilities for Im-
provement.

growing conditions are nor-
mal.
Under these conditions, the
study shows that U.S. farm-
ers by 1985 could boost:
• Feed grain production by
50 percent.
• Soybeans by 33-1/3 per-
cent.
• Cotton by 30 percent.
• Beef cow numbers by 44
percent.
Dramatic increases also
could be registered in pea-
nuts and rice, both of which
have been under tight acre-
age control. The study sees
the possibility of rice output
doubling, and peanuts in-
creasing three or four times.
Both crops, however, would
still comprise only a minor
part of the nation's cropland.
Most of the increase in the
nation's major crops would
come from higher yields, us-
ing the same technology that
boosted yields in the past two
decades. This would include
use of hybrid seed, greater
use of fertilizer and irriga-
tion, improved machines,
narrower rows and higher
plant populations per acre,
chemical weed control, and
FARM FACTS
Gobblers Replace Gophers
Minnesota may be known
as the Gopher State, but a
more accurate term nowa-
days might be the Gobbler
State. In 1973, it produced
about 23 million turkeys—
the largest output of any
state in the nation.

Tough Competitors
Man's biggest competitors
for food and fiber are insects.
Comprising nine out of 10
creatures on earth, insects—
and the diseases they spawn
and spread — destroy or eat
more food and fiber than
man consumes.

Man's Long-time Foe
Locusts have plagued man-
kind since history began. A
swarm of these insects could
destroy in just a single day
enough wheat to supply 5
million persons.
Early Plant Exploring
The first recorded plant
exploration was the expedi-
tion sent by Egypt's Queen
Hatshepsut to the Land of
Punt for the incense tree in
1500 B.C. Today, USDA ex-
plorers search for a wide va-
riety of plants to help im-
prove food and fiber crops.
We think you're
great. May you continue
to share life's great
adventures.
