Farm outlook signals caution on fed cattle prices
Iowa State University economist J Marvin Skadberg cautions that June results will determine if fed cattle prices rise this fall. April feeder cattle shipments in the nine Corn Belt states fell sharply from 1969, while 1959 shipments were unusually high. Milk production through April rose 13 percent versus 1959, outpaced by population growth, suggesting no automatic milk price rise and possible dairy cow retention. Wardle adds safety notes on mower use and recalls a fatal Iowa power mower accident last year.
