Farm prices near parity after decade long shift
Economists at Iowa State College report farm prices near parity for the first time in more than ten years as of December 15. The farm price index rose to 99, up from 97 a month earlier and 83 a year ago, with hog, beef, and dairy markets showing gains while fat and egg prices edged down. Projections point to higher hog and beef prices next fall, continued strong dairy demand, and higher feed costs ahead amid tight hay and legume seed supplies.
