Kansas State University Extension economist M. E. Jackson says U S farm egg prices will average about 5 cents a dozen higher in the coming year. Production costs jump about a cent a dozen with labor rates and feed costs rising. National prices should average about 3 per cent higher in August and September, with Kansas producers around 30 to 31 cents per dozen. Prices expected to climb to 37 cents in Oct 1968 to Mar 1969 quarters, with Kansas around 23 to 34 cents. A future dip to 32 to 33 cents is forecast for April to June 1969, leaving Kansas around 28 to 29 cents.
