He notes rising world slaughter, heavier cattle weights, and higher marketing lots may keep slaughter above 1973 levels while prices dip then rebound into late summer.

USDA April grain stock report shocks traders
The USDA April grain stocks show smaller corn and soybean stocks than expected. Iowa State economist Bob Wisner notes a slight rise in corn prices possible in coming months and a stabilizing effect on soybeans, while predicting no repeat of last summer’s price surge. Domestic use in the January March period rose sharply in several states, with 1973 to 1974 storage concerns easing but carryover seen rising. Continued light marketing could help stabilize soybeans into early summer.
