The ISC farm economist Tom Rackham warns that gains in agricultural well being during the recession are largely due to coincidence and higher prices, not a lasting solution. He notes weather boosts crops, lower feeding margins, and larger slaughter runs threaten price drops, while farm income rises from fewer farms sharing profits and foreign demand.
Short run upward pressure lifts dairy and poultry returns and fruit and vegetable profits as crop losses pass. Mid April farm item prices run 3 higher than a year ago while feed costs ease, boosting overall agriculture. Egg prices may ease from spring peaks but could stay above last year with production lag and seasonal drop tightening markets.
Rackham forecasts the fall laying flock will grow only 6 to 8 percent above 1957 levels. He notes a 12 percent drop in pullet numbers on January 1 compared with the prior year, indicating a modest rebound is expected but not large.
