Cold could raise 1990 food prices despite frost losses
AP Farm Writer Don Kendall reports that USDA analyst Ralph Parlett expects overall food prices to rise 3 to 5 percent in 1990 despite cold hitting citrus and winter vegetables. He notes 1990 fruit and veg prices may inch up as Florida orange crops crippled, Brazil imports rise, and California supplies offset some stress.

Slug killer found in quackgrass compound in field trials
Agriculture Department scientist Roger D. Hagin duplicated a quackgrass chemical that kills slugs without harming snails or mammals. The toxin is released when quackgrass is killed and could become a low-cost, low-rate slug control. Field tests on beans and alfalfa showed near doubled yields due to reduced slug damage.

Egg prices rise as cold weather boosts demand in Kansas
The Hays Daily News reports higher grocery store egg prices due to holiday demand and cold weather. In rural towns with local flocks, production fell sharply with some hens not laying. Local producers note mixed impacts while experts cite that properly kept houses can maintain output. water and drafts control are crucial for laying. LaCrosse Hatchery notes limited drop as water access and draft-free houses help, with Arkansas storms last year blamed for broader shortages. Cal-Maine Foods says price hikes stem mainly from demand, not just cold.
