Excerpt from Acreage-Marketing Guides, 1956: Summer and Fall Vegetables for Fresh Market; Summer Melons; Vegetables for Commercial Processing; Sweet Potatoes The primary purpose of acreage guides is to bring about a needed percentage change in acreage from that of the preceding year so that the resulting pro duction will.be in line with demand. Since each individual grower almost certainly knows the acreage of vegetables harvested on his ferm.in 1955, he should adjust his own acreage in accordance with the published guides.
