Farm market trends and pests loom in Texas and California
Farmers and ranchers across Texas sell beef directly from the range as grain and feed costs rise. Calves flood markets while top grade cattle stay scarce, widening price spreads and stressing rail freight for winter. In California, 600000 Australian beetles are released to combat poisonous weeds, with hopes of protecting sheep and cattle.

Wool tariff cut shifts burden to Australian growers
A Geneva agreement reduces raw wool import duty from 34 to 25 1/2 cents per pound effective Jan 1, 1948. Observers expect little immediate price impact in the US due to stockpiles and wool scarcity, while Australian and New Zealand producers gain subsidies and production. Domestic wool producers face continued declines in the US sheep population and uncertain effects on inflation, with no action on export embargoes or the wool price cartel.
