Beef and Hogs
Louis Moore saw do possibil
ity of Americans going hungiy
because farm output has out
stripped the population growth.
One farmer now feeds himself
and 39Vz others People are eat
ing better with each passing
year but are spending less of
their total disposable income
for food. “There is no reason
for this change,” he said
The economist saw farm real
estate prices continuing up as
well as wages and farm ma
chinery prices He listed ferti
lizer as the one item remaining
at the same price level.
Moore said the huge- com
crop is the biggest factor to
watch. “In the past,” he said,
“this has meant bog and beef
market weights have gone up
and prices have gone down a
•little.” Thus lighter weights are
expected to be in demand in
the next few months but the
markets are not expected to get
these lighter cattle because
farmers are going to want to
feed their corn.
Over all, more beef produc
tion is expected an 'the first half
of 1988 with about the same
prices as last year. “Midyear
prices could be in the $26 range
but we’re still a tong way from
$3O beef,” he said.
“Any price rise in January
will not last long,” he saOcf. He
recommended feeders to get
cattle to the right weight and
sell.
Marketing and prices in the
first half of 1968 'are expected
to be about the same 'as last
year for the hog grower. “It
may be midyear before we have
$2O hogs.
“However,” Moore concluded,
“profits are expected to be
higher because of the large
corn crop ”
