Even with the prospect of increased planting of spring wheat,, total wheat production in 1976 probably will not reach two billion bushels. Wheat prices over the near term are expected to remain generally stable in the range of present levels. If the drouth in the Midwest persists, even with an expected large carryover, wheat prices may advance modestly over the next six months, according to Dr. Matthews. The 1975 potato crop nationwide fell 7.7 percent below 1974 production. Despite this reduction in output potato stocks on March 1, 1976, as a percent of pro- - duction remained above the level a year earlier, indicating the declining rate of potato use from the 1975 crop exceeded he drop in production. The News Letter says that open market potato prices in March rose to about $4.00 per cwt. for top quality potatoes. The 1976 contract price for potatoes is expected to be about $3.40 per cwt. increasing to $3.80 per cwt. for higher quality crops. Beef cattle prices have dropped sharply in the first quarter of 1976. The drop from about $45 per cwt. at year end to below $35 per cwt. for choice steers at present reflects increased marketing of fed cattle and continued heavy slaughter of cows and nnn-fp-- d ctoon. LVVi O and heifers. However, a moderate upward trend in beef prices is anticipated with choice steer prices reaching the and some by mid-yea- r, additional, slight increases possible in the second half of kJ low-forti- 1976. The longer range outlook for the beef industry was favorably enhanced by the reduction in total cattle numbers as of the January 31, 1,976 inventory. The number of beef cows that have calved in Idaho as of Jan uary 1 was estimated at 636,000 head, down 12 percent from a year ago. In Utah the number was estimated at 362,000 head, an increase of 4 percent, while in Wyoming an inventory of 748,000 head was down 7 percent. . ;. it ou fftJh.

So whenever you run into a problem, all you have to remember is, "as you farm ask us." mum for the 1976 crop was 61.6 million acres. The national allotment does not represent a limit on the amount of wheat that may be planted. Rather, it is used solely as a basis for making payments to wheat growers should the market, price for wheat fall below the established target price or if growers qualify for disaster payments. Under these two programs, growers are eligible for payments only on allotted acres. The 1977 allotted acres will among be apportioned States, counties and individual producers generally on the basis of the apportionment for the 1976 crop year. J) 1 I- - .Si Dennis 5.
