Outlook Favors Egg Producers and Consumers in 1961
College Station reports that egg prices will hinge on supply and demand. F Z Beanblossom notes uniform year round production due to large shell egg facilities, easing storage needs and stabilizing prices. Fewer hens in early 1961 may lower output, with a rebound expected by late 1961, while demand stays near 1960 levels as incomes stay high and per capita consumption declines.
