USDA forecasts continued pork and beef growth into mid next year with higher hog slaughter next spring. Cattle prices may not recover before winter, with choice steers near 35 dollars per 100 pounds and pork prices around the upper thirty dollars. Beef output hit a record 6.5 billion pounds this summer, while dairy and feedgrain factors limit expansion.

Corn and crop outlook from USDA bulletin
USDA officials released Oct 1 estimates showing reduced corn harvest prospects by 27 million bushels, wheat by 12 million, and soybeans by 25 million. They cautioned the overall picture remains in balance with expectations, while fall potato and citrus crops show record numbers and prices may rise for producers. Consumer food prices are seen rising about 3 percent in 1976 and a similar increase in early 1977. Feedgrain supplies suggest relative stability for farmers and livestock feeders despite tight earlier markets.
