Pa. Feed Grain
Intentions Rise
Commonwealth farmers have
made another revision upward in
their estimates of how much
acreage they intend to plant for
three major feed grains, ac
cording to the Pennsylvania Crop
Reporting Service.
On January 1, 1973, the
estimate was 1,948,000 acres of
corn, oats and soybeans. This
was 63,000 more than last year or
a 3.3 percent increase. A later
survey determined that another
22,000 acres would be planted for
an overall 4.5 percent jump over
1972.
Three-fourths of this total will
be planted in com 1,490,000
acres, another 430,000 acres will
go to oats; while soybeans will be
up to 50,000.
Although soybeans are a
distant third, percentage-wise,
they took the biggest jump - 11

percent. Recent prices on the
Chicago Board of Trade topped $7
per bushel. Soybean meal is the
principal source of protein for
dairy, livestock and poultry
feeds. Soil and climate
discourage widespread planting
in Pennsylvania.
The Commonwealth’s 1973
potato acreage is expected to be
35,000 acres, an increase of 1,000
from the previous year’s plan
ting. This is a modest 3 percent
increase but with favorable
growing conditions, it could be-a
whopping jump in production
over the 1972 harvest. Only 30,000
of the 34,000 acres planted last
year were harvested and coupled
with low yields because of dry
weather, last year’s production
was 40 percent below the current
5-year average.

intend to set 17,000 acres of Pa.
seed leaf for harvest this year, 6
percent more than last year’s
harvested acreage. A sharp in
crease in production is expected
over last year if farmers are able
to harvest an average crop. The
1972 crop was reduced by heavy
rains in June followed by dry
weather during critical stages of
development. Lancaster County
accounts for over 90 percent of
the state's tobacco acreage.
Not much change is anticipated
in winter grains as acreage sown
earlier is practically unchanged
from the previous year Winter
wheat is up 2 percent at 296,000
acres, but barley is down 2
percent at 272,000 acres.
Nationally, corn plantings are
expected to total 71.6 million
acres, 7 percent above last year,
soybean intentions are for 53.8
million acres, up 14percent; oats
intentions at 20.5 million, up 1
percent; sorghum 18.6 million, up
6percent: all barley 11.0 million,
up 4 percent.
Growers intentions for 1973
acreages were reported as of
March 1, about halfway through
the signup period - February 5 to
March 16- for the 1973*feed grain,
wheat and cotton programs
Actual plantings may be altered
by later decisions relating to
Government programs In ad
dition, plantings may change
because of spring weather, labor
prospects, and other economic
factors during the planting
season
The largest holders of New
York Stock Exchange listed
stock in 1972 were the pen

private, state and local gov
ernment funds reached a
value of $T13.2 billion or 44
per cent of all institutional
