NFO Launches Campaign to Raise Feed Grain Prices
The National Farmers Organization announced an immediate holding action on grain sorghum with plans to withhold other grains this fall. President Oren Lee Staley said sorghum may reach 2.30 per hundredweight, up to 2.80 in California, to curb rising prices and protect cattle feeding interests. Sorghum currently sells around 1.53 per hundredweight and is a key substitute for corn in feed. The move targets Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Arizona, and California as prime sorghum regions.
