Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois Farm Economics, Vol. 201: February, 1952 Further changes in farm mechanization Of the type indicated in the pma survey are desirable in the long - run interests of an efficient and productive agriculture. Present indications, however, point to some slow ing down in these trends in the immediate future. The Defense Program will have its impacts on production of farm machinery as well as on the supply of farm labor. Allotments of the controlled materials steel, copper, and aluminum -in the fourth calendar quarter of 1951 and for the first and second quarters of 1952 probably have forced a curtailment in the production of farm machinery and equipment to around 80 to 85 percent of the 1949 rate. Prospects for production in the third calendar quarter of this year are no brighter at this time. The conclusion is that the demand for some items of farm machinery this year will exceed the supply in prospect. Insofar as availability of materials will permit, emphasis on the production of the kinds of ma chines most in demand should permit a continuation of the desirable trends in farm mechanization, although at a slower rate than would occur if larger supplies of machines were available. The usda has recently initiated a program to encourage maintenance of machinery at a high level of operating efficiency. In carrying out this program, manufacturers have been urged to maintain a high level of production of repair parts. An adequate supply of repair parts will help farmers to maintain the operating efficiency of their present machinery. Although there may be local shortages of specialized items of machinery, the over-all outlook is that the supplies Of new machines, repair parts and attachments are likely to be adequate to attain farm production goals this year.
