Record Number Of Cattle Now Being Fed
Iowa State College extension expert William G. Zmolek forecasts record cattle on feed this winter will prompt a seasonal price drop in upper grade fed cattle this spring. Slaughter may rise 10 to 15 percent, with limited summer price gains. feeder cattle could dip below 1952 levels after mid March, while good weather could lift feeder prices later. He remains optimistic about beef industry prospects as population growth and broader demand bolster profits from efficient feed conversion.

Soluble Phosphate Fertilizers Outyield Slow Forms Across Crops
Iowa State agronomist H R Meldrum reports over 20 years of trials that soluble phosphate fertilizers such as superphosphate and calcium metaphosphate provide higher yields and better profitability than slowly soluble forms like rock phosphate and colloidal phosphate. Responses vary by crop with corn favoring soluble forms, oats also reacting well, and legumes showing steady use. lime and soil acidity influence effectiveness, and mixed applications are advised for certain soils.

Drop In Butter Prices Worry Iowa Dairymen
Iowa dairy experts say unprecedented butter price drops and low demand threaten the market. They note November 1952 butter and cheese prices hit support levels while dry milk prices stay slightly above a year ago. Ext specialists cite imports, rising production, and early milk-flow increases as key causes. Support prices protect prices till next April, aiming near 90 percent parity. policymakers may cut floors later. 1953 looks brighter for dairy despite ongoing price pressures.
