Iowa State University analyst Gene Futrell cautions that if demand remains weak cattle prices may slip about two dollars per hundredweight in the first half of 1969.

Southwest Iowa will now be served by IMPACT, an area educational service unit funded by a Title II grant. IMPACT provides thirty six districts with two consultants in social studies, language arts and the fine arts to help teachers develop new curriculum and implement in service programs. One hundred teachers will attend a summer workshop to develop units using new curriculum techniques.
Futrell warns that large beef supplies and rising pork and poultry outputs signal potential price weakness. Fed cattle may fall about $2 per hundredweight from January levels toward April or May unless demand remains strong. Continued orderly marketing among feedlots could limit downside and sustain profitable margins.
