Prices Farmers
Received Were
Up In Nov.
HARRISBURG Prices
state farmers received were up
one percent during November
because of increased prices for
fruit, milk and eggs, the Penn
sylvania Crop Reporting Service
says
Apples were up 26 cents a
bushel, milk up a fraction of a
cent a quart (5 cents per 46 ¥2
quaits), and eggs up 3 cents a
dozen
Most other items were down
or unchanged from October
Hogs at $lB 30 a hundredweight
were off $1 while slaughter
cows dropped $1 30 to Sl5 30
Steers and heifers were down
60 cents, calves down 40 cents,
and lambs down 20 cents
Gram prices, with the excep
tion of corn remained steady.
Wheat and oats were unchanged
at $127 and 78 cents a bushel,
while barley and rye were up
a penny to 98 cents and $l.
Com, at $ll2 a bushel, was 15
cents lower than in October and
38 cents less than in November
of last year The November
corn price was the lowest in six
years
In comparison with prices re
ceived a year ago, -eggs are
down 12 cents a dozen, apples
up 6 cents a bushel, potatoes
down 75 cents a hundredweight
broilers down one-half cent a
pound, hogs down $2 80 a hun
dredweight, and steers and heif
ers up 60 cents a hundred-
weight.
Increasing prices for fruit
milk and eggs more than offset
declining prices for most other
commodities, nudging the Nov
ember index of prices received
by farmers up two points (one
percent), according to the Penn
sylvania Crop Reporting Ser
vice. Of the major commodity
groups in the index, the largest
drop was recorded by the meat
animal segment, which was
down 5 percent from the pre
vious month.
The index of prices received
for livestock and livestock pro
ducts gained two points as a re
sult of slightly higher milk, egg
and broiler pi ices All other
