Ag Agency Expects Static Farm Prices
The Agriculture Department says farm prices for the rest of winter will likely stay above year-ago levels. November prices were three percent higher, with Dec figures due December 30. Cash receipts through January totalled 27 billion dollars, down two percent from 1956, while livestock receipts rose five percent and crop receipts fell nineteen percent. Government payments for 1957 expected near one billion, helped by larger soil bank payments. Hog marketings and weights to rise after January may pressure prices, and mid winter gains likely postponed. Discounts for heavy hogs are expected to widen as December was not excessive.
