Egg and lamb market outlook from Bremer County Extension director
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell projects seasonal improvements in egg prices this summer with output slightly above last year and hatch trends suggesting more pullets. Large cold storage adds mild price pressure while a higher 1964-65 laying flock could keep prices steady or lower later. Lamb feeding profits remain solid with a smaller lamb crop and tighter supplies pushing spring prices higher before easing toward 1965.

Nitrogen Dressing Should Be Applied Now
Farmers who have not yet applied side-dress nitrogen should do it now. Corn should be 18 inches high for maximum uptake during its peak growth period, when nitrogen use is greatest. Delaying could reduce yield boost, with liquid, solid, or gaseous forms all providing equal results if properly applied.
