Iowa State College economist Ralph Baker says buying chicks within the next month and moving them into early egg production will likely be more profitable than late chicks. He notes fall egg prices will be higher but moderated by factors such as increased storage and possible Canadian egg imports. Baker expects total egg production to stay above 1949 into summer, with fewer hens by 1951 but still strong demand, keeping spring prices near this year's levels.
