factor confronting the industry is
what it will cost to produce eggs
this spring and summer compared
with a year earlier There is no
question that costs will increase,
but the amount of increase is
debatable.
Feed prices lead the list in the
amount added to the cost of
producing eggs. High interest costs
are also pushing costs up How
high feed prices will go this spring
and summer perhaps is anyone's
guess.
Numerous factors could push
prices upward and others tend to
push them down Future prices
will depend m part on the farmers’
intentions to plant corn this spring,
acreage actually planted, date
most planting is finished, weather
conditions, and harvesting con
ditions
Changes in the above factors
may have considerable effect on
price changes prior to and during
the corn growing season, because
of the anticipated low carryover of
com supplies from the 1980 crop
year Also, the quantity of
livestock fed will have an unpact
on feed prices
This includes beef cattle in feed
lots, hogs produced, number of
layers on farms and broilers
produced, as well as other

outlook
livestock and fowl A given per
centage change in numbers of
broilers produced will not change
the quantity of feed grains con
sumed as much as the same
percentage change in the quantity
of pork produced
Differences in feed consumption
are due to differences in qualities
produced and feed efficiencies
There will be fewer pullets to
house this spring and early
summer than a year earlier
However, part if not all of this
reduction could be offset by
keeping hens in production for
longer intervals More force
molted layers will tend to reduce
the number of eggs per layer and
help’ to curtail output
The egg industry must cut
production below a year earlier
levels in order for prices to in
crease sufficiently to cover higher
costs and return a reasonable
profit to the industry The amount
of reduction is uncertam-perhaps
two to three percent It is not likley
that demand will change much
