1976 U. S. agricultural outlook. Papers presented at the National Agricultural Outlook Conference sponsored by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, held in Washington, D. C. , November 17-20, 1975. Prepared for the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, United States Senate
The National Agricultural Outlook Conference is held annually to provide information on production, prices, input supplies, and demand for products. A second aim of the Conference is to forecast the direction and magnitude of agricultural trends for the next year. This 1976 Conference is of special interest due to the continued uncertainty in the agricultural industry and the turnaround in the trends for commodities from the previous year. The papers are organized under the following topics: 1976 Economic Outlook; Agricultural Outlook; Food--Supplies, Demand, and Consumption; Agricultural Inputs and Productivity; International Women's Year; U.S. Agriculture in the World; Commodity Outlook for Wheat, Rice, Canadian Wheat, Feed, Oilseeds, Fats, Oils, Livestock and Meat, Poultry and Eggs, Dairy, Fruits and Tree Nuts, Vegetables, Timber Products, Tobacco, Cotton, and Sugar; and Family Living. Two papers, ''How Households Use Energy'' and ''The Department of Commerce Energy Labeling and Energy Efficiency Programs for Household Appliances,'' are abstracted separately. (BYB)
