Annual Forage and Seed Conference
To Discuss Future of Agriculture
The outlook for world, United
States and Northeastern
agriculture will be a leading topic
at The Annual Forage and Seed
Conference, scheduled for
November 19 and 20 at The
Pennsylvania State University.
Well-known authorities will
discuss the present and future
situation with regard to
availability and predicted price
of seeds, fertilizer, livestock, and
dairy products.
With the increased demand for
food products throughout the
world, and the increased useage
and price of such agricultural
“raw materials” as seed and
fertilizer, there is a definite need
for all farmers and agri-business
people to become more aware of
the future situation.
According to Lowell L Wilson,
professor of animal science at
Penn State and chairman of this
year’s event, everyone involved
with agriculture in a small,
medium, or large way should
plan his program according to
the market and agriculture
commodity outlook over the next
several years.
One major topic to be discussed
by Ken Stephins, Export
Marketing Service, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, will
be the outlook for the amounts
and types of agricultural
products for export over the next
few years. The effect of the
amount of agricultural exports

from the United States was felt
this past year when prices of food
products increased partially as a
result of increased exports to
other nations. Still, according to
Dr. Wilson, the U.S. must con
tinue to export agricultural
products in order to maintain a
desirable balance of payments.
In addition to the influence of
exporting finished food products,
the effects and outlook for ex
portation of fertilizer from the
United States will be considered.
One of the main features of the
Forage and Seed Conference this
year will be a presentation by
Charles Schnitzler, dairyman,
Waynesburg, Kentucky.
Schnitzler has a very interesting
program in which a herd of ap
proximately 70 Holstein cows are
maintained on 130 acres. His
farming program is a good
example of what can be ac
complished by intensification of a
forage program.
On Tuesday morning, Penn
sylvania producers will have an
opportunity for an up-date on the
production, marketing, and
feeding of soybeans and alfalfa.
With high protein costs, the
production and use of home
grown protein supplements, such
as alfalfa, can dramatically
reduce feed costs in any type of
livestock operation.
Additional topics to be
discussed are; Methods of
Reducing Corn Field Losses;
