An American Soybean
Association planting intentions
survey indicates members will
plant 10.1 percent less soybeans
in 1974 than they did in 1973. If the
intentions materialize, it would
be the first drop in soybean
acreage since 1959.
At the same time, the 500-plus
members responding to the
survey said they would increase
the acreage of nearly all other
crops; Midwest growers in
dicating they plan to have 15.7
percent more corn and Southern
growers planning to raise 24
percent more cotton than they did
in 1973. All'areas also indicate*
more wheat is planted, in some
cases, substantially more.
Projecting members’ in
tentions. on USDA planting
figures for 1973, soybean acreage
in 1974 would total only 51.4
million acrea. USDA, which will
release its first planting in
tentions report January 22, has
projected soybean acreage would
drop from 57.2 million acres in
1973 to 54 million acres in 1974.
By areas, growers plan 11.3
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 22,1973
percent fewer soybeans in the
western Com Belt, 12.2 percent
less in the eastern Corn Belt, 7.3
percent less in the South and 5.8
percent less on the East Coast.
A number of growers pointed
out that these intentions were
what they’d like to plant but that
their- decisions could change
somewhat by spring due to un
certainties over weather, price
relationships, fertilizer and fuel
availability etc. If weather is
poor again as it was early last
spring or if fertilizer supplies are
very tight, then there will be
more soybeans and less- of the
other crops, growers indicated.
Going Up?
The price ot almost everything
the consumer buys has gone up
faster than the cost of food While
food costs have increa c ed 47 per
cent since 1952, the average work
er had enjoyed pay raises of
jnore than 140 percent During
this same period, the cost of
medical care has gone up 123 per
cent and housing costs 64 percent
more.
