Egg Feed Ratio to Remain Favorable for 1939 Poultry
Special to Rho Gazette Ames Iowa farmers expect a 10 percent rise in farm laying flocks by Jan 1 1939 boosting total egg production. Egg prices rose since April 1938 while light storage kept pace. The egg feed price ratio should stay favorable at least until the 1939 feed crop dominates prices. Consumer demand may lift in 1939 but bigger marketings could depress prices. long term trend remains upward with more commercial flocks and winter egg output.
