...July report indicated that the harvest of feed grains (corn, oats, grain sorghums) will be the smallest since 1941. The corn crop, feedbin for the livestock industry, was estimated at not quite 2.7 billion bushels-543 million bushels less than a year ago. For dairy farmers this may be made up, in part, by a near-record hay crop. Nevertheless, farmers look for a shortage of feed for their 715 million animals, fear next year's meat supply will be even less than...
...wheat crop is expected to be the largest ever. The wet, cold weather that delayed corn planting failed to harm the winter wheat which was planted last autumn. But despite a record crop (1.1billion bushels), for every bushel of wheat used to feed cattle at home there will be one less bushel available next winter to ship to hungry mouths in Europe...

...Example: in the summer of 1943 the ceiling price on corn was so low and the price floor on hogs so high that it was more profitable to use corn to fatten pigs than to sell it. Result: a large hog population, but no pork on the butcher's rack and an acute shortage of feed for Eastern dairy cows.) Weather Means Everything.

...best calculated measures of the new Secretary of Agriculture can still be badly upset by acts of God. If the corn crop is very short, it will be impossible to fatten enough cattle and hogs, even if prices make fattening profitable-light beef of inferior quality may be forced on the market when ranges dry up. Conversely, if the weather continues wet and the corn fails to harden before frost, there may be so much soft corn, unfit for storage, that too many cattle will be kept on that cheap feed instead of going to market...
