Farmers' Outlook Feed Supplies Are Accumulating Corn is the highest profit crop for most Illinois farms. Many farmers are cutting down on this crop in order to get price-support loans next fall, but the supply of feed continues to pile up. There are two reasons why supplies of corn and other feeds are building up: (1) cotton and wheat growers have shifted to (feed crops, and (2) the pricesupport program for com sometimes restricts domestic uses and exports. Corn Use Cut. The use or corn is sometimes restricted by the price-support program. For example, in 1952 and 1953, feeding to hogs was reduced when corti prices did not come down with >.o£ prices, This year other feed grains are being substituted for ,corn. • The carry-over of feed grains ftast fall was 32 million tons -- *57 per cent more than two years •before. The carry-over this yea:' seerfts likely to reach 24 million tons, a new record high. And more feed grains will • probably be produced this year than were produced Jast year. With average weather, we are likely to produce around 125 million tons of feed grains this year. fSuch production would exceed that of last year by 3 per cent and would be second only to the record output of 135. million tons ;»n 1948. ? More Land to Fieed .Grains. In March farmers intended to plant about the same acreage of com as they planted in 1954. But average weather across the country would produce about 175 million bushels more than last year's total. Farmers have reported intentions to seed 1 per cent more land to oats than 'they seeded in 1954. But average yields would reduce the crop by 140 million bushels. The prospective acreage of sorghum grains is 7 per cent over last year and 50 per cent above the 10-year average. The 1955 crop of sorghum grains is likely to be around 240 million bushels - 17 per cent more than last year and. 80 per cent above the 10-year average. Texas and Kansas rank one-two in the production of sorghum grain. Other cotton and wheat v states have also stepped up their acreages of sorghum grain.

Farmers plan to seed nearly 18 million acres to barley this year. That number would be 9 per cent more than last year and 35 per cent more than average. The big-acreage crops with price-support production control prograr.is are com, wheat, and cotton. It appears that when wheat and cotton growers cut acreages of these crops, they grow more feed to compete witih. oorn. BUt the corn grower cannot so easily switch to wheat or cotton.
