LANCASTER The outlook for
the wheat situation this year is
very promising according to
reports from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and James A. G.
Beales 111, vice president of
Thompson, McKinnon Securities,
Inc. of Philadelphia.
Beales was speaking to business
leaders who gathered at the
Treadway Inn in Lancaster,
Monday evening, for the annual
Penn Ag grain meeting.
According to Beales, the world
wheat supply is to increase
slightly, a continuing trend from
last year when the U.S. supplied 50
percent of the exported wheat.
Beales predicts another year of
record wheat supplies, but an
export rate slightly less than the
1981 record.
This prediction corresponds with
the USDA report which says that
wheat stocks are the highest in five
years. At 1.16 billion bushels, wheat
stocks are up 17 percent trom a
year ago and the highest since 1977.
Although the USDA reports that
corn stocks are at a record high
now, Beales predicts that har
vested acres ot corn probably are
going to decline this year, and that
the year will end with the same
amount ot corn as we see now
"There’s more uncertainly on
corn this year than any other crop

for the third tune in the past four

On the soybean situation, Beales
says the world supply estimate is
up 7.7 percent, while the nation’s
outlook according to USDA, at 658
million bushels are down three
percent from a year ago and 15
percent below two years ago.
