In 1956, late season gov
ernment purchases resulted
m a strong end-of-season
price. It is not known
whether the government will
purchase turkeys this year
and if so, when.
Broilers
U. S. farm broiler prices
for the July-September quar
ter will average between 18
and 19 cents per pound
about one cent higher than
a year earlier.
Marketings for ‘ the period
are expected to be about five
per cent smaller than during
tre corresponding quarter of
1958.
Tris third quarter . price
is improved over earlier pre
dictions because the indus
try cut placements below
those expected.
Prices for the October-De
cember quarter are expected
to average lower than last
year’s 15.6 cents.
Improved July - September
prices are expected to re
sult m broiler chick place
ments again exceeding year
earlier levels by late summer
Thus, marketings in the final
quarter of 1959 will exceed
those of the same period in
1958.

depressed conditions, - there
has been no change in the
basic factors supporting the
growth pattern of the broil

These factors include eco

coordinated production and

ital to finance expansion.
In addition, many broiler
processing plants recently
were enlarged when they
were remodeled to meet fed
ral inspection requirements.-

of unused processing capacity
and increased overhead costs
has added to processors’ in
centives to increase volume
of broilers handled.
