Kansas Extension expert Mike Sands charts a volatile outlook for cattle. Fed cattle prices expected to dip this fall as large numbers reach slaughter weight, then rise to the low 70s by early 1983 before easing later that year. Feeder steers and calf prices follow supply shifts, with margins tightening toward break even.
Kansas State University experts outline how storage costs shape grain selling timing. They detail breakeven prices for wheat corn and soybeans, considering interest, quality maintenance, shrinkage, and possible in out charges.
Kansas analysts forecast a record 4.3 billion bushel U.S. corn crop and ample free supplies will push feed grain prices down in 1982. Loan program mechanics and farmer-held reserves are expected to keep corn prices near loan levels despite a big harvest. Grunewald of Kansas State University cites reduced acreage compliance as a factor, with 1982 Kansas average corn near $2.50 per bushel and grain sorghum around $4.02 per cwt.
Diane Yeaman reports on a Philip Mosher farm Angus cow in Wellsville giving birth to four calves three heifers and a bull all born naturally in a pasture. Franklin County Extension notes the rarity of 1 in 204000. The cow and all four calves are thriving as Mosher plans winter pens and a self-feeder.
Kansas economist Mike Sands expects hog prices to average over 60 dollars per cwt in Q4 1982 with the annual average near 57, the highest on record. Prices should dip from early 1983 levels as production rises, while pork output for 1982 falls about 12 percent from 1981. Breakeven costs and margins are discussed with feed and nonfeed expenses, seasonal slaughter, and per capita pork consumption noted.
