Secretary said ‘1 inputted

billion in fiscal 1975. and in a
very real sense these- im
ports were paid for by U S
grains, soybeans, and other
farm product exports
•'Moreover, this high level
of exports was essential to
American farmers, who
have expanded crop acreage
in order to meet world
market needs During the
past fiscal year, exports
required the production from
96 million acres of U S.

of the feed grams went to
overseas markets in fiscal
1975
Without continued large
exports, farm acreage would
inevitably be reduced - under
the weight of falling farm
prices, government

bination of the two ”
The Secretary noted that,
while farm exports in fiscal
1975 were about $3OO million
above the earlier record of
$2l 3 billion the preceding
