Farmers Costs Little Change as July Parity Rises
Farmers costs for farm production items held steady from June to July while prices paid for inputs matched June levels. The parity ratio across prices rose from 102 to 103, and farmers share of the food dollar in June stood at about 48 cents, above postwar lows but below 1946 wartime ceilings. Dairy prices reached a seasonal low in June and rose in July with milk at plants averaging 4.55 per cwt and butterfat at 71.8 cents per pound.
Egg Prices Rise as Production Slows and Costs Hit
Egg prices climbed during the month ended July 15 by about 21 percent above the usual 8 percent rise. The gain reflects a rapid drop in layer numbers due to spring egg-price lows, hot weather, high feed and labor costs, small hatchings, and occasional disease outbreaks, with prices likely to stay firm in a more favorable position.
Government expenses rise in July to $3.5B deficit
Government data show July expenditures at $6.7 billion, up from $4.7 billion a year earlier, widening the gap with receipts by $3.5 billion. Increased defense spending drives the jump, leaving federal debt near $263 billion.
