Record corn crop
seen
Maryland’s 1975 corn
production is now estimated
to be a record crop of 47,850,
000 bushels with an average
yield of 87 bushels per acre.
This prediction, based on
crop conditions surveyed as
of September list, is even
higher than the August Ist
estimate for Maryland corn
of 46,750,000 bushels. The
increase of 1,100,000 bushels
The increase of 1,100,000
bushels comes through a
hike in the average per acre
figure which was set at 85
bushels in the earlier
estimate.
Good weather during
August is credited with
helping the crop. The corn
prediction for Maryland was
released today by the
Maryland Delaware Crop
Reporting service as part of
the national crop estimates
release by USDA.
Maryland had been upping
its corn production for the
past three years showing
million-plus bushel in
creases. The 73 crop was 42.5
million bushels; the 1974
crop, despite a damaging
frost increased by 2.4 million
bushels and now, 1975’s
production is expected to top
1974’s by 2 9 million bushels
On the bad news side of the
picture, Maryland’s 1975
tobacco crop is still
estimated to come in at 25.3
million pounds due to bad
weather experienced in July
The 1975 harvest will be
some 4,940,000 pounds under
1974, and 6,200,000 pounds
less than in 1973.
Karen and Tim will
receive expense-paid trips to
National 4-H Congress in

Maryland Secretary of
Agriculture Young D.
Hance, in commenting on the
bumper corn crop estimate
for the state, said, “I am
thankful for the good
weather which has helped
the crop but share the deep
concern farmers have over
finding a fair market and
fair price for their big
harvest
“I hope that these good
crop estimates will en
courage the federal
government to open the
export markets for
American grain and
reassure consumers in the
United States that there will
be plenty of gram for our
domestic needs,” Mr. Hance
said.
