Iowa Poultry and Cattle Trends Signal Shifting Farm Profits
The report from Iowa State College economist Francis Kutish shows Iowa hens averaged 178 eggs in 1950, with eastern regions at 174 and 185 in commercial areas, while broiler and turkey production expand. Farmers may cut chicken numbers by about 10 percent, boosting egg profitability if corn and feed costs ease. Record cattle numbers begin 1952, with 88 million cattle and calves on farms, beef cows near 21 million and beef supply rising, signaling strong cattle expansion and higher slaughter volumes ahead.
