Abstract

During the last three years agriculture has exhibited characteristics that parallel those of a manic depressive. The livestock sector was flying high during 1973 and in the depths of despair in 1974. The crop sector was elevated from two decades of despondent but stable economic health to a state of price elation in 1973 and 1974. Over the last couple of years consumers, who enjoyed excellent food budget health for years, have slipped into a state of belligerent depression. Each group views the future with anxious dismay. Livestock producers fear that the feed prices will remain high, crop producers fear they will not. Neither livestock nor crop producers have a sound basis for making short or longer term production plans.
