Iowa State College specialist Opal Robertson notes cotton now rivals traditional fabrics with finishes and textures enabling tailored suits, coats, skirts, and dresses. Wrinkle resistant, glazed cottons, denim upgrades, and lightweight weaves expand housewear to town wear, while easy care crinkled cottons and terry cloth offer kids play clothes and home use intervals.

Hog profit slump slows pig farming outlook
Hog profits were slim this winter causing farmers to cut production. Katish notes farmers tend to overcorrect and then hog profits improve as the cycle turns. Egg prices have risen from February lows with graded egg demand stronger than current receipts, driven by Easter demand. West Coast egg consumption remains about 40 percent higher than last year, keeping sales high while storage lags behind.

Looking Ahead on Egg Prices in Bremer County
Katish projects little drop in egg prices with possible slight easing and a spring peak in production. Farmers have culled laying flocks as feed ratios hit a record low since 1924. Allowing hens to forage could hurt profits. a 65 percent rate-of-lay target and proper feeding promise the best net for Bremer county farmers.
