Excerpt from Agricultural Situation, Vol. 43: December 1959 Farm prices and incomes in 1960 are likely to show much the same trends as this year.

Prices for farm products are likely to slip further, but sharp declines, such as those for hogs and eggs in 1959, are not expected. Supplies of farm products will re main heavy in 1960 with further ao cumulation of already excessive stocks of wheat and feed grains.

Excerpt from Agricultural Situation, Vol. 43: August 1959 Much of the feed purchased today is already mixed for feeding. But many farmers, especially those in the Midwest, buy grain locally for feed ing with commercially prepared pro tein supplements or for home mixing. Prices of grains and meals are affected by many forces - and often change rather sharply.
