Livestock Prices May Turn Down Amid Backlog of Cattle
Washington AP experts warn an oversized cattle backlog from grass pastures could push prices down. Omaha weekly average for choice-grade steers fell to 53.98 per 100 pounds for the week ending June 28, the first decline since spring. Analysts anticipate stronger slaughter numbers and possible price drops to the low $40s by fall as farmers ship grass-fed cattle and trim breeding herds.

Beef Imports Expected To Stay Low In 1975
The Agriculture Department projects foreign frozen beef shipments to the United States at 1.18 billion pounds in 1975, matching prior estimates. Voluntary agreements with supplier countries aim to keep totals below the trigger level, preventing automatic quotas. Through May 500.8 million pounds of quota meat entered the market, up about five percent from 1974, when total meat imports reached 1.08 billion pounds.

Under Secretary of Agriculture Phil Campbell warned that hunger exists but crises may be exaggerated. Speaking at Beltsville ahead of a Potato Association of America meeting, he cited Rome and FAO data, noting some nations have met most needs while southern harvests lagged.

Carp Fishing Advice From Conservation Agent Larry D. Abraham
If you’re a fisherman not doing well lately try carp fishing. Carp are hardy and fight hard, more so than many common species, and they can survive in drying ponds. Introduced to the U.S. in 1830 with descendants from 1887, carp feed on aquatic insects plants and roots, muddying waters and earning a mixed reputation. They provide pleasure and meals when prepared properly, with doughballs or corn as effective baits. When the weather is hot and other fish bite poorly, carp fishing offers relaxation and a good catch.
