Egg price rise forecast for late summer 1960
Dr. P. C. Clayton of Ohio State University predicts egg prices will be well above 1959 levels by late summer due to fewer layers, tighter supplies, and slow chick hatch rates. He expects April to June averages 5 to 6 cents higher per dozen, with higher prices continuing into late 1960 and early 1961, risking over expansion. Broiler prices should stay above last year with a large turkey crop ahead.
