and 1973 sent food prices up.

Edition
Economic activity speeded
up. Both employment and
hourly earnings increased
sharply. We had more
money to spend, and we
spent it, increasing the
demand for food.
Other countries bought
more of our farm products.
Foreign citizens had more
money to spend in 1973 too.
There was a wave of
prosperity in the developed
world~and foods are in
ternational commodities. At
the same time, the devalued
dollar made it easier for
other countries to buy U. S.
products.
U.S. livestock production
was slightly lower. Also,
weather conditions
throughout the world
noticeably reduced wheat,
com, rice, and feed grain
supplies. We were faced with
slightly reduced total world
and domestic food and feed
supplies, at the same time
Range
we had record incomes and
increased demand for food.
