Excerpt from The World Agricultural Situation: Review of 1965 and Outlook for 1966Tobacco production in 1965 was about 4 percent below the previous year's record crop as the output of both flue-cured and oriental declined. Free World exports of leaf tobacco, at record levels in 1964, were down in 1965.Output of livestock products was up in 1965. Meat production turned upward due to increased pork output and the continued upward trend in poultry meat production. Egg production was also higher. World milk production in 1965 is estimated 2 percent higher than in 1964. The production of animal fats declined slightly, due mainly to reduced lard output in the United States.Because of prospects for increased pork production, for an increase in world cattle numbers, and for continued expansion of poultry production, world output of livestock products in 1966 is expected to increase.Output of agricultural products in 1965 was up substantially from the 1964 levels in all regions of the Western Hemisphere, primarily because of better weather. Output in Canada was near the record high of 1963, and except for untimely rains during the fall harvests a new record would have been set. U.s, pro duction reached a record level as a dozen important field crops set new yield records and the index of crop output per acre reached 124 (1957 Feedgrain and soybean pro duction were up sharply, but livestock output fell slightly in 1965.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
