Farm Outlook Predictions From Iowa State Economist
Farm Economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State University says fed battle prices this year may stay above last year. He notes price patterns resemble 1958 with narrowing grade spreads and larger fed marketings offset by fewer cows and non fed cattle. Hog prices likely fall as receipts rise, suggesting early marketing of hogs despite a downtrend from the spring peak.
