Hofer added that with prospects of 2 billion bushels of wheat and 6 billion bushels of corn this year, the U.S. should have plenty of grain to meet domestic needs and still have ample stocks to compete aggressively in the world market with Canada, Australia and other major grain-producing countries. “Given the sensitivity of world grain prices to the supply-demand balance,” Hofer said, “it’s obvious that substantial export sales must continue if U.S. farm prices are to balance production costs.” Reduce Impact of Oil Imports The farmer cooperative official emphasized that consumers and the media shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that agricultural ex ports have helped reduce the impact of increasingly ex pensive oil imports. In 1973, he said, agricultural trade of $17.7 billion outpaced oil imports of approximately $l5 billion. This helped result in a U.S. trade surplus of about $1.2 billion. Last year, agricultural exports of $22 billion kept $25 billion in oil imports from becoming a trade deficit disaster. Hofer also noted that in order to keep productive capacity viable, a reasonable return on agricultural investment is essential. “This means that export sales must be made,’’ he said. “Over 50 percent of our wheat, and about 25 percent of our corn must find a home in foreign markets,” Hofer added. “Otherwise, the price structure which furnishes the American farmer with his only incentive to produce, will fall to non-profit or loss levels.” The grain division of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives represents the major grain marketing cooperatives of the U.S., with total annual sales of 1.7 billion bushels.
