Iowa Farm Outlook Emphasizes Surging Dairy Production and Prices
Iowa State University extension economist Craig Harris reports U.S. milk production rose three percent in January to April while prices paid to farmers strengthened. Cow numbers fell about four percent, but production per cow rose, lifting overall output. Milk prices in Iowa averaged 9.20 dollars per cwt, up from 7.36 last year, with manufacturing milk support at 8.13. Projections show continued higher prices, improved cash receipts, and gains in returns through 1976 amid favorable milk feed ratios and steady grain prices.
