Illinois Farmers Outlook Letter on Poultry Prices and Production
The midyear poultry outlook in Illinois is mixed with smaller egg storage stocks and reduced chick purchases supporting higher prices for July to September. Egg prices may average around 27 cents a dozen this year and about 31 cents in October to December, while 1962 prices could be two to three cents lower than recent six months. Broilers show price declines to 11–13 cents per pound from 17–19 previously, prompting output reductions toward 1960 levels. Turkeys look favorable for consumers with holiday supplies up about 25% and farmers receiving around 20–21 cents per pound, though government purchases may not lift prices to last year’s levels. H.

Higher population corns may not compensate feeding value losses
The note suggests that corn varieties with higher dry matter yields from dense planting can improve harvest outputs but may fail to offset reduced feeding quality. It highlights a potential trade off between yield and nutritive value in densely planted corn.
