Excerpt from Agricultural Outlook Charts, 1959 Supplies of farm products will continue heavy for at least another year. An exceptionally favorable growing season boosted average yield per acre to a new peak in 1958. Total crop production rose a tenth above 1957, despite the smallest harvested acreage in 40 years. Output of livestock and products also increased as hog and broiler production rose. High production is likely again next year. Hog and poultry production is increasing and cattle and sheep numbers are rising. Large output of crops also is probable, barring severe drought. Even if weather is less favorable than in 1958, continuing improvements in technology are likely to keep yields high.
