Excerpt from The Agricultural Situation in the Soviet Union: Review of 1975 and Outlook for 1976 Soviet gross agricultural output in 1975 declined for the second year in succession, falling 6 percent below reduced output, 14 percent below the planned level, and about 8 percent below the record 1973 output. Output in 1976 is likely to be only slightly above the reduced 1975 level. Crop production should recover sharply if weather during the growing season is more or less normal, but livestock production will be down somewhat. Weather in 1975 was far worse for agriculture than the somewhat unfavorable conditions in 1974. An early, hot and dry spring accelerated spring planting. Below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures continued through most of the summer months, causing severe drought over most of the major agricultural regions in European and Asiatic ussr.
