Iowa State extension economist Fran cis Kutish warns profits for cattle feeders hinge on this year’s corn crop. With beef numbers high and more cattle on hand, a good corn crop could lift feeder demand while poor corn would dampen prices. Past declines reflect seasonal swings and market supply.
Prospects look good for dairymen to keep high producing cows and herds to meet growing national dairy needs and to capitalize on potential profits says Francis Kutish extension farm economist Iowa State college and A W Rudnick Extension Service. He notes beef production has drawn some away from milk and warns that switching now may lead to disappointment as beef prices near their peak while dairy productivity supports more consumers. He cites eight cattle cycles since 1880 and urges not to discard quality producers while reminding dairymen of long term value of keeping herds. Rudnick adds liquid cash from regular cream checks aids farmers’ liquidity.
Rudnick cites one Iowa farmer who abandoned dairy for less exacting farming, sold his herd, and now seeks cows again admitting cash was easier. He notes family dairy farming is steady though not flashy, and many farmers view it as a safe investment. The piece also notes that Christmas was illegal in 1659 and that John Paul Jones is regarded as a great U. S. naval hero.
