Farm outlook cites higher beef cow numbers and corn stocks
Iowa State University farm economist J Marylin Skadberg says beef cow numbers and corn on hand likely rise again. Corn prices have edged up about 5 cents a bushel from March into July futures, with 4.4 billion bushels used this year but less than last fall’s harvest. Carryover should reach 1.9 billion bushels, about 25 percent more than last year. Grass feeding may rise as stocker cattle prices ease, and no major beef cow liquidation is expected soon.
