Farm Price Picture Darkens As June Prices Slip
Washington reports show June farm price levels fell below year earlier marks for the first time this year. Through May, prices were about 3 percent higher than 1956. Meat animal prices rose about 14 percent from last year, while feed grain prices dropped to a June low not seen since 1945 due to ample supplies. The 1957 wheat crop outlook adjusted with a smaller than forecast reserve and surplus, while soil bank retirements influenced the higher than expected harvest.
