Crop report foresees strong late fall harvest across nations
The April crop outlook from the Agriculture Department notes favorable growing weather in the latter fall and early winter. Rain and melted snow, with normal temperatures, aided wheat and corn quality, while sorghums, potatoes, sweet potatoes, seed crops, rice, peanuts and sugar crops benefited from warm, dry November conditions. Cotton nearly finished ginning and harvest, with some delays in Texas, Oklahoma, and California due to wet weather. Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons show mixed gains, Valencia oranges at 57.8 million boxes, total oranges about 62.1 million, grapefruit 43.2 million, and California lemons at 13 million.

Price has little effect on egg consumption in Ohio
Ohio Agicultural Experiment Station researchers A. W. Jasper and R. E. Cray report that egg consumption per person runs about 327 eggs annually, with little change tied to seasonal price shifts. The estimate excludes eggs used in prepared mixes and table ready products, and notes only 24 percent of consumption is outside those categories.
Egg consumption rises as prices fall analysts say
Surveys show a portion of families interviewed used more eggs during low price seasons. Specialists cite improved quality lower prices a shift to luxury items and nutrition focus as reasons for higher poultry use. Eggs are named essential to minimum health standards and better egg marketing could lift per capita intake and cut surpluses.
