Excerpt from Crops and Markets, Vol. 4: March 1927 This report of farmers' intentions to plant m 1927, as. Reported to the U. S. Department of Agriculture on March 1, has been prepared by the crop reporting board of the department, based upon returns from about 50, 000 producers. The purpose of this report is to furnish information which will enable farmers to make such further adjustments in their plans for 1927 plantings as may seem desirable. The statement of farmers' intentions to plant is not a fore cast oi the acreage that will actually be planted. It is simply an indication 'oi what farmers had in mind to plant at the time they made their reports, compared with the acreage grown by them last year. The acreage-actually planted may be larger or smaller than these early intention reports indicate, due to weather conditions, price changes, labor supply, and the' effect of the report itself upon producers' action. There fore, the reports of acreage actually planted to be issued in July should not be expected to show the same changes as the intention reports. Because of national legislation specifically prohibiting reports of intention to plant Cotton, no information -ou cotton has been collected.. The report shows that farmers plan to increase substantially the acreages. In barley, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts, and make slight increases in the acreages of corn, spring wheat, oats, and hay. On the other hand farmers plan to decrease substantially the acreages of beans and flax and make mod erato decreases in rice, grain sorghums, and tobacco.
