However, total stocks of oats were less than a year ago. Total wheat stocks of 4,372,000 bushels on July 1, 1967 were 14 percent larger than last year. All of this increase was in farm stocks, as off-farm stocks were down slightly from July 1, 1966. Total corn stocks of 33,95,000 bushels on July 1 this year were 5 percent larger than a year previous. A 12 percent increase in farm stocks more than offset a 16 percent decline in off-farm stocks.

Navy Bean Supplies May Be Short For 1967-68 Sales July 1 crop estimates by the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts the smallest crop of beans in Michigan since 1957, says Quentin Strander, District Extension Marketing Agent, with the Cooperative Extension Service of Michigan State University. The Government estimate is for a production of 4,598,000 cwt, for the 1967 Michigan crop. This is 3,516,000 cwt. Below last year’s crop. Normally, says Ostrander, Navy Beans make up about 90 percent of Michigan’s bean crop. This means an estimated crop of 4,138,000 cwt. Of navy beans. This size crop the agent adds, is about 2.5 million bags less than our 1960-64 average market needs. Poor planting conditions in many of the major bean counties is blamed for the low estimate. Growers in some areas were unable to plant beans because of wet fields. Other fields had to be replanted and will need a later than normal fall to mature. Early frost could result in a crop below the present estimate or a late fall combined with good growing conditions from now on could give a crop higher than present estimates. Supply of most other dry bean varieties could also be short. The government estimated for the entire United States dry bean crop is 14,468,000 cwt. This is 5.8 million below last year. It is current estimate holds true, says Ostrander, excess Navy Beans from the large 1966 crop still will not give enough supply for our normal market needs for the 1967-68 marketing season. The agent givens the following breakdown on disposition of the 7,985,00cwt. U.S. supply of navy beans available for sale for the 1966-67 marketing season: Inspection for sales, Sept. 1, 196 – June 30, 1967, 5,474,531 cwt. Seed, 300,000 cwt. Delivered to U.S. Govt. under Price Support, 1,600,000 cwt. Total disposition through June 30, 7,374,531 cwt. This would leave approximately 610,000 cwt. of beans to meet demands for July and August. A check of shipments for the three-month period of June-August over the 3-year period 1963-65 shows an average of 1.5 million bags used for these 3 months or an average of 500,000 bags per month. This means that buyers will have to buy beans from the Commodity Credit Corporation in order to meet normal demands. The Government has also used part of the beans taken under the price support program for distribution through the surplus foods program and for other program shipments to underdeveloped foreign counties. What this all boils down to, says the marketing agent, is that if 1967 production is anywhere near to the July 1st estimate, there will not be enough navy beans available to meet normal market demands. Growers might well be very cautious in making sales commitments at harvest time or before a more accurate estimate of the supply is available. If the supply is short, growers can help to maintain a higher than average price by following an orderly marketing program under some type of group action system.
