Dairy Marketing Trends Highlight Three Shifts in Ohio
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station reports three dairy market trends. Whole milk production and sales rise with more manufacturing outlets and city deliveries. Fresh milk and cream purchases drop, widening the price gap between consumers and producers. Some producer groups abandon base and surplus plans, fueling heavier output and greater seasonal swings. This could stress milk-handling facilities and lower farm prices.

Since then lambs have harvested every corn acre on the farm, with ten of the last thirteen years showing at least $1.00 per bushel. He now interplants soybeans for protein. Winter barley varieties tested in Iowa mostly failed except those at Burlington. Iowa Experiment Station says no variety is safe for Iowa. Urbana station shows nine varieties with no winter kill, yields varying by date. One winter wheat variety yielded strong early in Sept to Oct. Winter barley likely to winter kill in central and northern Illinois.
