Pesticide
The pesticide outlook can
be summed up in one word:
favorable.
Not only are supplies
ample for this year’s ex
panded acreage, but prices
have leveled off, too, ac
cording to USDA
economists.
Production ' of all
pesticides for use in 1976
should range 10-15 percent
over 1975. Also helping are
increased carryover sup
plies, estimated at 13 percent
of the previous year’s output,
versus only 8 percent in
early 1975.
Last January and
February, a survey of 25
firms that produce about
two-thirds of all U.S. farm
pesticides revealed that
production problems caused
by the energy crisis and raw
material shortages in 1974
and early 1975 had all but
disappeared.
Fewer than 10 percent of
the firms reported problems
- compared with 72 percent
in 1974. Most blamed
inadequate capacities rather
than lade of raw materials.
The price picture shows
little change from last

outlook favorable
season. Manufacturers have
upped their charges to
dealers only modestly
compared with the past 2
years. And retail list prices
have inched up less than 5
percent, versus roughly 25
percent last year.
Distributors, meantime,
reported that growers are
paying somewhat lower
prices than last year,
especially for herbicides.
For most producers, that’s
welcome relief from 1973-
1975, when price tags on 10
major pesticide products
shot up more than 50 per
cent.

fanners will probably use 5-
10 percent more pesticides
than last year. As of April 1,
cotton growers planned to up
their acreage by 16 percent,
a move that should increase
demand for cotton her
bicides and insecticides by a
similar amount. More
modest increases expected
for corn, sorghum, and
wheat will also stimulate
pesticide sales.
Prospects look good for
next year as well.
Manufacturers revealed
plans to expand production
capacity by 10-15 percent
this year and 5-10 percent in
1977.
