Iowa Farm Outlook on Corn Prices in 1971
Iowa State University economist Bob Wisner says corn prices in late 1971 will be shaped by the new feed grain program and next year’s acreage. No. 2 corn in central Iowa was about 1.23 dollars per bushel in late November, up 20 cents from a year ago, with factors including revised crop estimates, carryover, and lower exports influencing the outlook. He notes USDA forecasts show 1970 corn production at 4.104 billion bushels and a tighter supply, with a 625 million bushel 1971 carryover, the smallest since 1952, leaving only a small reserve if the 1971 crop falters. The 1971 feed grain program likely aims to expand corn acreage amid uncertainty over blight, and prospects for a major rail strike could affect near-term pricing, but central Iowa prices are expected to rise 18 to 20 cents per bushel over the December–February period.
