Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Feb. 2,1974 relatively high prices for the past two years. It is becoming increasingly evident that our production capacity for apples, sweet and sour cherries, and perhaps even grapes is such that if all areas of the country produce crops equal to those of their better yield years, seriously depressed farm-level prices will probably result. However, there is room for a large fruit crop because processors would like to rebuild stocks. Agriculture 1974 For agriculture, 1974 looks like another good year in view of the strong domestic and foreign economies. However, a cautionary note needs to be sounded con cerning all-out production in future years.
