Outlook Not Good for Dairy Farmer
USDA WNU reports rising dairy production expected this fall and winter due to more cows, cheap feed relative to dairy products, and growing feed supplies. If consumer incomes fall, the price ratio may worsen for dairying in deficit feed regions, while surplus areas see a better outlook. Milk prices have fallen with manufactured dairy products, but fluid milk base prices stay higher than wholesale product prices. Milk cow numbers rose in early 1932, yet continued gains may slow as heifers decline. Poor pastures and feed shortages, plus more low producing cows and fall freshening, help push output lower in the first half of 1932 versus 1931.
