The State of Food and Agriculture 1951

This report, which not only reviews the past but also appraises the outlook for the immediate future, is as complete as can be done in the difficult circumstances of 1951. Neither crop forecasts nor economic forecasts can ever be completely right, but the appraisals here, based upon all the information available, present the best considered view of the prospects possible to make in mid-August 1951. This report is not as complete as previous ones, however, it covers the general facts of the agricultural situation and outlook sufficiently well to be of service to member nations and the general public.
