E2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 5,1980
Ag research returns high
UNIVERSITY PARK -
Land-grant college research
to improve food supplies is
yielding some of the highest
returns on investments of
any business-as high as 52
per cent, says B. R.
Baumgardt of the
Agricultural Experiment
Station at Penn State.
The 52 per cent is the
return on investments in
certain areas of animal
research, Baumgardt
reported.
“Even when the return on
tax momes spent for animal
research is only 17 per cent,
as in some years, that figure
would please most in
vestors, "he noted.
Research investment
yields anticipated for the
1978 to 1980 period are placed
at 30 to 40 per cent for
soybeans, corn, poultry, and
dairy products. Investment
yields are expected to reach
46 per cent for wheat and 52
per cent for swine research.

The highest anticipated
return on research is in
potatoes, exceeding 100 per
cent. In contrast, investment
yields in 1977 averaged 5 per
cent for municipal bonds, 8
per cent for long-term
savings and preferred stock,
and 9 per cent on utility
bonds.
He reported investments
in most fruit and vegetable
crops return 30 to 40 per cent
annually over costs of
research.
Baumgardt took his
figures from a studj made
for the federal Office of
Management and Budget.
He pointed to the need for
increased food production
throughout the world. Births
account for 80 million more
persons to feed worldwide
each year, with some 500
million persons already
poorly fed, according to
United Nations estimates
“As population continues
to grow, and incomes in
Sale by:
BERNICE E. HERR
many countries climb,
demand for U.S. food
production will nse to levels
never known before,” he
predicted.
World food supplies came
under severe stress in 1973
and 1974, he noted, due to a
variety of reasons. Smce
then, gram crops m par
ticular have been fairly
large.
“Such periods of ample
gram supplies often lead to
lowered' support for
agricultural research as
legislative groups tighten

investment yield
purse strings when gram
bins seem full,” he observed.
“But even in times of
abundance, not all
agricultural products are
plentiful at the same time
through the world. Right
now, some animal products,
especially beef supplies,
have been somewhat
limited. Energy costs have
sky-rocketed for all phases
of the economy. Overall food
prices have risen sharply.”
Lasting what he termed
“other serious agricultural
problems to solve,” he
mentioned soil erosion and
the farmer’s dependence on
non-renewable resources
such as oil, natural gas, and
coal.
Other vital needs involve
problems with new and
complex plant and animal
health, and threats to the
environment from pollution.
Then there are problems of
preserving agricultural land
and of establishing health
and community services for
more rural areas.

The really tough ones
