His figures for that situation showed a 25 million acre increase over the 325 million acres of harvested cropland otherwise to be expected. The figures also showed slightly higher average yields per acre despite the lower produc tivity of new cropland. Total grain production would be boosted by 12 percent and export availability of grains by two-thirds if high prices prevailed. The United States probably would be able to provide about as much food aid to poor countries as at the peak of past aid even without the stimulus of high prices, according to the study. Crop prices that remained as favorable to farmers as in 1972-73 might generate four times as much food for aid, a representative projection showed. Even that volume of food could not itself long sustain all the less developed countries, Brandow concuded, because it would be absorbed by three year’s population growth in the late 1980’s if present birthrates con tinued. Increased production of food for aid could be en couraged if the public wanted it, he said, by long term guarantees of favorable returns to producers and cheap credit for land development. Dr. Brandow emphasized the need to take uncertainty into account in forming food and agricultural policy and argued for flexibility capable of dealing with events as they unfold. He pointed to stabilization of market supplies as a leading problem but warned that the task would be more difficult than formerly thought.

These two groups are interdependent. They need to have a better knowledge of each other’s role in today’s society. And, they have an important role for improving the quality of life in the Commonwealth, Myers said. The Chairman said that Farm-City Week has been observed in Pennsylvania for over a decade.
