What is ahead for Illinois far- I? >5fSrs during the next fgw years? ! «ere are some ideas about the future and" some reasons for them. Farm Incomes may decline a little, but few operators on good farms will want to trade places with average city workers. Many other farmers will take part -- or full -- time jobs off the farm. The "Cost-Price Squeeze" will continue --- and maybe increase. It is a normal condition applying to all privately owned, competitively operated businesses. Technical progress wili be faster than ever before. This 'will eall for more know-how and more capital. ' ^Farmers in Illinois -and other parts of the Corn* Belt may be pinched by national farm programs promoted b}r farmers in other areas. Peed grown on acres diverted from cotton and wheat is rapidly taking markets that were formerly supplied by corn growers. This diverts income from farmers in the Corn Belt to those in other states. Farmers are producing, and being' paid for, - more corn and other feeds than are being used. The government. may not continue such a program much longer. Farmers may soon have to choose between lower prices and Tnolre rigid production controls. "Neither road leads to more income. Wheat is still over-priced in. U.S. markets. Production is 1*4 times' as great as the need for food and seed. The surplus must !>e sold for export or feed at lower than present market prices. Big .wheat states in the West dbuld make it rough 6n cornbelt wheat growers. Soybean production has doubled since 1945. One-sixth of the crop ft' exported. Home markets for soybean oil and meal are growing. Prices for soybeans represent real market values. Price Jupports--have been at moderate *tevels. There are no surplus -stocks and no production controls, but both will come if qtftiitional large acreages are diverted from other crops to soybeans. The beef industry has expanded greatly in the past five years, but demand is holding up well. There are no price supports, but also no surplus stocks or production controls. Supplies of beef and competition from other foods are not expected to change mUch. Profits from cattle feeding will vary from year to year, but the industry as a whole is in a more favorable position - than most other farm enterprises.' ^ - Hog production is only about normal,- but the -share -of family income spent for pork has drop*: ped one-fifth in the past few years. On the other hand, stocks of corn are piling up, and the ; biggest use of corn, in for hog1 feed. This adds up to continuing pressure for large production and low prices for hogs, over the next few years. Lower prices for cornwould make the hog business look more attractive. The outlook for dairying is uncertain. Production and use are now in close balance. But with less butt^rfat being used for but; ter than formerly, a relatively small change in milk production "Grow Old Along With Me!
