Cost-Price Squeeze To Continue On Dairy Farmers
Texas dairy farmers face a ongoing cost price squeeze into 1955 with milk prices likely to stay lower than feed costs. John G. McHaney, extension agricultural economist, expects total U S milk production to match a record 124 billion pounds this year, and says improved pastures could lift next year’s flow. He notes dairy product stocks in July exceed a year earlier by 5 billion pounds and farm milk prices may fall from 4.32 to about 4.00 per hundredweight in 1954.
