Iowa State economist projects higher beef cows and corn stocks
Farm economist J Marvin Skadberg of Iowa State University predicts increases in beef cow numbers and corn in storage this year. He notes corn futures rise about 5 cents since March, with 4 billion bushels used but still below last fall's harvest, leaving carryover at about 1.9 billion bushels. Good range grass and softer stocker cattle prices imply more grass-fed cattle this year, with no major beef cow liquidation expected.
