Iowa Farm Outlook Signals Government Reaction To 1972 Price Rise
Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell says policy makers may react slowly to wholesale food price gains yet warns against overreaction. He notes cattle prices rose in December but only restored farmers’ prices to last summer’s levels, while steer prices at Omaha fell from 39 to 32.50 per cwt July–November. Futrell questions grazing expansions and predicts larger beef herds since 1969 could press prices downward without further action. Hog and egg prices rose but May fall as production expands. grain and oilseed prices also rose due to harvesting delays and export demand, with potential effects on feed costs and consumer prices. The government acts to lift supplies of corn, soybeans and wheat to temper prices, while farmers are urged not to overproduce in 1973.

Warm season pasture grasses recommended for July August grazing
Bob Loudon of the Soil Conservation Service in Creston advises warm season grasses such as switchgrass Indian grass and big bluestem for July to September grazing. He says cool season grasses go dormant then and a mix of 75 percent cool season and 25 percent warm season grasses suits southern Iowa farms for a 5 to 6 month grazing period. Montgomery County farmers Lyle and Dean McCann reported good results grazing yearling steers on warm season grass. For more information contact the local District Conservationist.
