Favorable 1945 Egg Prices Forecast By Washington
Farmers may see spring egg prices around 30 to 32 cents a dozen as a forecast from the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Production drop and slightly higher per person consumption support higher prices, but War Food Administration policies could alter the outlook. Iowa State economists anticipate more eggs available to meet shell and frozen demand, including storage needs. Dried egg price guidance suggests manufacturers may pay about 42 cents a dozen in the Midwest April through June, with farmers averaged 27 cents in a year.
