Farm Egg Prices Drive 3 Percent Farm Price Rise
Washington AP The Agriculture Department reports a 3 percent month rise in the farm price index led by sharply higher egg prices. Eggs averaged 48.8 cents per dozen in mid November up from around 40 cents in prior months, with vegetable prices also rising and total farm commodities at a 17 year high. Egg output fell nearly 2 percent in the first three quarters and 1969 production is expected to be below last year as demand for chicken supports egg use for hatchings. The department expects egg production to rebound early in 1970, but prices to stay strong amid continued demand.
