But depleted carryover stocks in major grain exporting nations make supplies barely adequate for 1973-74 requirements and carryover stocks at the end of the season will be down to the lowest level in more than 15 years. During 1968-72, world feed grain consumption rose at a rate of 19 million tons yearly: U.S. consumption rose about 6 million annually. In the past 5 years, world feed grain production has lagged increasing world demand, reflected in rising exports and prices. Larger feed gram crops in 1974-75 would soften prices, help keep countries with limited purchasing power in world grain markets, and provide increased assurance of food security. The 1974 U.S. feed gram crop is projected to in crease by 20 million short tons mainly because of increased acreage m prospect. Domestic needs may be up as much as 9 million, but exports may decline 3 million. and David Yoder, right, general manager of Atlantic Breeders Cooperative in Lancaster, was among the officials present for dedication ceremonies at the new building for the National Association of Animal Breeders in Columbia, Missouri.
