Marketing May Aid Shaky Beef Prices in Iowa
Iowa Farm Bureau president Tyan Kleckner urged a cooperative contract to stabilize the distorting beef market. He advised feeders to market promptly but avoid future delivery to protect grade and prices, urging retailers and packers to resume normal buying to steady the market and help consumers buy now for price stability later. He noted a separate real estate sale in Alburnett and recalled Duke Ellington’s 1974 death.
