  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


OPERATIONS

Net sales and other operating income increased 11 percent for
the quarter and 10 percent in the six months compared to a year
ago due primarily to higher average selling prices of most
processed products and to a lesser extent volume increases in
corn and wheat products.

Gross profits decreased from $324 million to $322 million for
the quarter and from $585 million to $545 million for the six
months compared to last year.  The effect of commodity price
increases on LIFO inventory valuations decreased gross profit
$35 million in the quarter and $41 million in the six months
compared to decreased gross profit of $4 million and $1 million
for the comparable periods of a year ago.  For the six months,
the negative effect on operations of the widespread Midwest
flooding also contributed significantly to the decrease in gross
profit.  For the quarter and six months, these decreases were
partially offset by increased gross profits from oilseed
processing operations which experienced better market conditions
resulting in favorable processing margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8 percent
to $91 million for the quarter and increased 7 percent to $174
million for the six months compared to a year ago primarily
reflecting general cost increases.

The decrease in other income for the quarter resulted primarily
from increased interest expense due to higher levels of long-
term debt borrowings and decreased equity in earnings of non-
consolidated affiliates.  This decrease was partially offset by
increased investment income.  For the six months, the decrease
in other income was due to increased interest expense and
decreased gains on marketable securities transactions.

Income taxes for the quarter and six months decreased due to
lower pretax earnings.  These decreases were partially offset by
the increase in the United States federal corporate income tax
rate to 35%.  For the six months, the increase in the federal
corporate income tax rate also resulted in increased income tax
reserves and a non-recurring income tax charge of $14 million.
The effects of the change in the federal corporate income tax
rate increased the Company's effective income tax rate to 34
percent for the quarter and 38 percent for the six months
compared to a rate of 33 percent for the comparable periods of a
year ago.

Results for fiscal 1993 have been restated for the cumulative
effect of the adoption of FASB Statements No. 106 and No. 109
resulting in a net credit of $33 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1993.  Results for the first two quarters of
fiscal 1993 have also been restated, net of tax, for the current
year effect of the accounting change for FASB Statement No. 106.




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended December 31, 1993, the Company's
cash and marketable securities net of short-term debt decreased
$535 million to $2.2 billion, working capital decreased $461
million to $2.5 billion and net worth decreased $165 million to
$4.7 billion.  These decreases reflect investments in property,
plant and equipment expansions, business acquisitions, and
purchases of the Company's common stock.  The Company's ratio of
long-term liabilities to total capital at December 31, 1993 was
approximately 28 percent.
