Daly of the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture’s Outlook and Situation Board. Speaking at the opening ses sion of the Department’s an nual national Agricultural Out look Conference in Washing ton, D.'C., Mr. Daly noted that record output and declining prices this year and a continu ed rise in costs have combined to reduce 1967 net income albout 10 percent from the pre vious year’s high average. ‘‘Looking to next year, sup plies of farm products 'Will continue large, but prices re ceived in general are expected to strengthen from reduced lev els this fall,” he said. He add ed that some increase in gov ernment payments to farmers is also anticipated. Accordingly, he forecast a gain in gross farm income for 1968, “perhaps by around a billion dollars.” “But production expenses will continue to increase and may largely offset the gain,” he added. Thus farmers’ income will not keep pace with expected gains in the rest of the econ omy. 'Net income per farm, however, is expected to in crease in 1968, compared with a small decline this year. Mr. Daly also said that after-tax in comes of persons on farms will likely improve next year. This year’s realized net farm income is expected to total $14% billion, down from $16.4 billion in 1966. “Despite ex panding demand, supply in creases in 1967 were large enough to reduce prices re ceived by farmers in January , September by 5 percent from year-earlier levels,” Mr. Daly said. He imported that, with com modity program changes, plant ed acreage for 1968 wheat and feed grain crops may be about 10 percent smaller than this year. However, he said there is little basis for expecting overall crop output next year to Change much in total. “Large feed supplies and prospective feed-price relation ships point to the possibility of larger supplies of slaughter hogs later in 1968, increased output of broilers, and gener ally heavier feeding of all STOCKADE BRAND Livestock Equipment • 8 Models all steel welded farm and feedlot gates • 2 Models all steel welded head catch gate • All weather salt and mineral feeder/face fly control • All steel hay and silage bunks • Grain troughs 4 models • Pickup stockracks • Lifetime free stalls: "unequalled in quality" • Ritchie Woterers and Behlen Steel Buildings For prices, contact: Fred Frey, Mgr. 786-2235 (7,7) FREY BROS.
