Excerpt from The 1936 Agricultural Outlook for California: Contribution From the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics The purpose of this report is to make available to the farmers of the state information that will afford them a better understanding of the conditions in the markets where their products are sold and of the forces which influence prices. In formulating farming plans and programs and in deciding on adjustments that may be desirable on any farm or in any area, producers - individually and collectively - should take into account not only the conditions on their own farms, but also market conditions and price prospects. Further, the welfare both of individual farmers and of whole groups in particular areas will be affected by the plans which producers in competing areas are making. Planning with a fuller knowledge of all these influences will help farmers to hold the gains of recent years and will be necessary if the agricultural production of the different areas in the state in the year ahead is to be kept in bal ance with production in other areas and states, and in line with the best interests of the nation.
