Farm Outlook For Iowa And Marion County In 1952
Frances A. Kutish of Iowa State College forecasts farmers should market lambs as they reach prime condition for gains. May prices may hold, with declines possible late June. Farm costs are expected higher than last year, with building materials and feeder livestock down. Hog marketing last week was the lowest since October, but federal hog slaughter from Aug 1 to Mar rose 11 percent, aided by pig crop and gilt increases. Butter output is down 6 percent year to date, Iowa production 15 to 17 percent below 1951, yet butterfat prices may stay above a year ago amid high consumer incomes.
