Iowa Farm Outlook Hog Prices To Remain Favorable
Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell forecasts a favorable pork price outlook through the first quarter of 1973 with prices staying above $22 this fall. May prices were up about 3.50 from a month ago and 8 higher than a year earlier, with futures suggesting higher prices than today. Futures hedging potential is cited for producers with sufficient volume, and the USDA June hog and pigs report will inform summer and fall plans.

Cattle Feeders Warned of Agribusiness Takeover Threat
University of Missouri economist Harold Breimger warned at an Iowa State short course that packers processors and other food firms will dominate agriculture in 20 years unless feeders organize. He cited broiler and egg industries as signs of corporate expansion and warned that cattle feeding could become corporately owned. A California backed Livestock Barons plans a 20 000 cattle and 15 000 hog under roof operation near Des Moines drawing opposition over pollution water use and potential loss of family farms. Production would rely on contracted local corn and silage with 7 000 acres already secured. The Iowa Health Department has tentatively approved the plan and critics fear state politics failed to curb corporate farming.
