Prospects For Adequate Farm Feed Supplies
The Agriculture Department said feed supplies for cattle hogs and other livestock will be a little smaller this year than in the past four years but per animal supply should be about the same as 1951 52. Southern producers face higher prices due to drought while corn prices may fall this fall then rise later. By product feeds should reach near the 1951 52 record, and price ceiling pressure on these products may ease next year.
