Pasture Management
A new 4-page brochure
which explains in detail how
leading stockmen in all
sections of the country arc
using new low cost methods
to increase production of
grass in pastures, is now
available. It is especially
timely because the current
shortage and high price of
feed grain is creating a
greater emphasis on the
importance of grass in
supplying feed for the
nation’s beef and dairy in
dustries.

New Chisel Plow
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - A
new No. 9 V-Chisel plow,
wi*h either five or seven
shank base units, is being
offered by the Agricultural
Equipment Divisions of the
Alhs-Chalmers Corp.
The five shank unit will
accomodate two additional
shanks to get to seven, while
the seven shank base is
adaptable to nine or eleven
shanks. The shanks are
made of one-inch steel with
shearbolt protection for
added strength.

Soybean
to farm exceed uses
WASHINGTON - Soybean
supplies will be record large
in 1975-76 while utilization
may increase only
moderately. The prospective
balance points to an easier
supply situation and a
buildup in the carryover next
August. Current market
prices, reflecting this
situation, declined to $5 per
bushel (No. 1 yellow,
Chicago) in mid-October,
about $3.50 below a year ago.
Large carryin stocks this
year and the second largest
crop on record are boosting
1975-76 soybean supplies to
1.66 billion bushels, 18
percent above last year and
slightly above the previous
record high in 1973-74.
Soybean stocks on Sep
tember 1 totaled 186 million
bushels, 15 million above a
year ago and were exceeded
only by the large carryover
of 1969 and 1970. The 1975
soybean crop is estimated at
1,474 million bushels (40.1
million metric tons), up 19
percent from last year but
still shy of the 1973 record.
Acreage for harvest is
estimated at 53 Vz million
acres, about 1 million above
last year. Yields per acre are
estimated at 27.5 bushels, up
4 bushels from the low level
of last year and near the
record high yields of 1972 and
1973.
Although total use is ex
pected to increase
moderately from the
reduced 1.22 billion bushels
of last season, it is not likely
to match the record use of
1973-74. So this may be the
third consecutive year in
which total utilization falls
below production.
Recuperation from the
recession, continuing
readjustment in the
lovestock and poultry in
dustries, and tough com
petition from foreign -
produced materials are
major determinants which
will influence soybean use.
Also, there is still un
certainty over crop outturns
in other countries. The U.S.
soybean export outlook
appears more favorable than
the small exports of last year
becauseof reduced grain and
oilseed crops in the Soviet
fcctive shock absorption.
Corners are also square to
provide maximum surface
area for easy clamping of
shanks.
A full 30 in. of vertical
clearance is available for
maximum working depths,
while non-twist plate con
struction holds shanks in
line.
Gauge wheels are listed as
an optional and may be
mounted directly to the
frame or on the same center
as the chisel shank. Dual
wheeled gauge wheels have
screw type depth ad
justment. Both single and
dual gauge wheels are
available on the five shank
unit, while dual gauge
wheels are recommended for
the heavier seven shank
plow.
The units easily adapt to
any category II or 111
standard or quick coupler
hitches.

plow, contact the

Union and European
Community.
With bigger supplies and
somewhat lower prices,
soybean use in 1975*76 is
expected to total near 1.3
billion bushels, up from the
1.2 billion of last season but
below the 1973-74 record of
1.4 billion. Cmshings may
total 735 to 785 million
bushels, up from 701 million
the previous year. As world
economic activity turns up,
lower prices should en
courage larger exports in
1975-76, perhaps ranging
from 425 to 475 million
bushels, compared with 421
million last year. This would
leave carryover stocks on
September 1, 1976
somewhere in the 325 to 425
million bushel range.
Soybean prices to far
mers in 1975-76 probably will
drop sharply below $6.50 per
bushel, which reflects record
supplies and prospects for
little increase in utilization.
During the second half of the
marketing yefT, prices will
also be influenced by
'prospects for soybean output
and supplies in 1976.
Soybean oil supplies are
estimated around 8 Vz billion
pounds, up a half billion from
1974-75. Domestic disap
pearance may approach 7
billion pounds, compared
with 6% billion in 1974-75.
Exports probably will drop
somewhat below last year’s 1
billion pounds, due to in
creased foreign supplies and
reduced P.L. 480 shipments.
A certain businessman had
a reputation for never
throwing anything away,
especially correspondence
dating back years. His
secretary, cramped for filing
space, one day asked if she
might dispose of some of the
older, more useless
material. The man was
reluctant but finaly said,
“Well, all right, but be sure
you make a copy of
everything before you do.”
Funny thing about kind
ness: the more it’s used the
more you have of it.
