Aggressive crop and livestock forecasts lift farm mood in Douglas County
Douglas County farmers heard forecasts of a 30 percent rise in U S soybean output and higher but modest price gains for wheat and corn. Kansas State University expert Roy Frederick predicted soybeans at 6 to 7 dollars a bushel next spring, with wheat prices peaking 16 to 20 cents higher and corn around 2 10 to 2 15 dollars per bushel due to hog feed demand. Missouri expert Dr. Glenn Grimes forecast hog production up 15 to 18 percent in Q3, likely pressuring hog prices downward to about 37 to 39 dollars per cwt in Q1 1978, then easing further to 34 to 36 in later quarters.
