Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, 1965When agricultural historians review the decade of the 60's they will see 1965 as a major turning point: A year of progress for farm and rural America and American consumers - and a year of promise, too.It was a year of progress for producers. Farm net income reached billion - more than $1 billion over 1964 and billion (21 percent) over 1960. Net income per farm averaged - a good 12 percent over 1964 and 42 percent higher than in 1960.It was a year of progress for taxpayers. Carryover stocks of farm commodities fell to the lowest level since 1957, decreasing storage and handling costs. Grain surpluses continued to decline, but remained adequate to any emergency. And though cotton stocks were high, the tobacco carryover turned down.It was a' year of progress for farmers and others interested in agricultural foreign trade. Farm exports continued at or near record levels billion for the fiscal year and billion for calendar 1965. Exports accounted for $1 out of every $6 farmers earned from the sale of their products. One-fourth of these ex ports were sent abroad under Food for Peace programs to meet food needs and foster economic development in over 100 coun tries around the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
