Livestock Prices Seen Strong This Fall Through Early 1972
University of Nebraska Lincoln extension economist Dr. Allen C. Wellman projects a strong price situation for cattle sheep and hogs this fall and winter. Cattle prices should hold near current levels with no feeder weakness while hog prices may ease this fall then rise late this year and into 1972. Lamb and sheep slaughter expected to be smaller, with lamb prices likely to strengthen as supplies tighten and overall livestock demand remains robust.

Wheat Set-Aside Debate Shapes Farm Program Outlook
Bridgeport reports veteran wheat grower officer Ray Davis warned Morrill County growers that the current farm program nears its end amid talk of a 1972 political year. He cites widespread set-aside abuse, forecasts a future centered on REAP credits and conservation, and urges growers to store and market wheat themselves to bolster the market. Davis also notes potential wage-raise impacts and mixed prospects for price-support loans.
