A&Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 10, 1988 County Farm Production (Continued from Pago A 1) County).” Last year the number of layers increased by 291,400 to 9 million birds whereas the value of their eggs fell to $85.9 million. “We’ve seen ups and downs (in the poultry industry) but n6t a con tinual down,” Irwin said. On the brighter side, although the total number of feeder cattle and calves decreased by 4,000, their value increased by $28.3 mil lion. This reflects a 10-cent per hundredweight increase in price. Neither Irwin nor Chet Hughes, Lancaster County livestock agent, believe <hat there will be a drama tic change in the numbers of feeder cattle in next year’s report despite the high feed prices resulting from the drought situation. “There are still a lot of cattle still in feeder lots,” said Hughes. “When the 1989 report comes out, then the figures will be down.” Many cat tlemen purchased feeder calves during the latter part of last year and early in 1988 when prices for the young stock were low, there fore the 1988 figures will reflect this action rather than the drought. Lancaster County remains the top beef cattle producer with 265,000 animals. Following the county are Franklin with 92,000, Bradford with 90,500, and Berks with 75,000. Also tops in hog production, with 38 percent of the state’s hog population, Lancaster County far mers owned 328,000 swine last year as compared to the 49,700 hogs that York County farmers owned and the 45,000 owned by Berks Countians.
